I might get a vice for the table .any thoughts on stabilizing the bike to work on ?It has a kickstand .
I've removed BB cups of this type with channel lock and vise-grip pliers. It all depends on how much corrosion there is....how long it's been since these things were removed for service..if ever. If there's a lot of corrosion you'll need the tools, along with a big hammer, and lots of swearing. As for the best way to work without a bike stand, just flip the bike over on the floor letting it rest on the seat and handlebars.
