Ya that’s the tool they used.
I was taking it off a frame I’m selling and was planning on using the bb for another bike of mine. Had no prob taking off a chorus Italian threaded fixed cup of the same vintage from my other bike, didn’t expect this c-record one to seize up and strip the flats like that, but I didn’t know it was aluminum vs. steel one like the chorus.
