Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!
The threading is undoubtedly English. If it's a cup-and-cone (very likely if it's the original ) you need a lock ring tool and a pin spanner to remove the adjustable (non-drive side) cup. You also need a fixed cup wrench for the drive side cup.
If it's a cartridge type (probably is if it's a replacement) you need a Park BBT-2 tool.
See the Park web site for detailed directions on both types.

The lock ring and adjustable cup can both be removed with a punch and hammer, just make sure you are trying to turn them the correct direction to losen them. If you have a big enough adjustable wrench, you can use that to remove the fixed cup.
Be fore warned, using a punch and hammer can casue damage to the lock ring and/or cup. Be gentle as posible.
