i use this type of BB tool on those... Park Tool BBT-32
the drive hex is larger, and near the splines, compared to the most common chrome BB removers, plus the large opening can allow access to the threaded stud end of the nutted spindles, and creative washering, if needed... like a 8 x1.25mm standoff and a bolt/washers.
