Some older B/B tools only work with square taper spindles. There is a shoulder inside that doesn't allow it to slide over the bigger Octlink/Isis spindles. Could this possibly be the case? As for the Token B/B, their web site says all their B/B's are 1.37"x24 which is standard english thread. If you have your old B/B, compare the threads side by side. You may also need to go to your LBS to have the threads in the B/B shell chased and cleaned up.
