BB installation question
I am needing to replace the BB om my Surly LHT . I am considering a Chris King or a Phil Wood. It is the external type BB.
My question is ,Do I need a special tool for either of these brands? Or will the Parks BBT-9 be the only tool necessary?
Thanks!

Go to the source. 
The Park Tool web site description of the BBT-9 says it fits both Chris King and Phil Wood external bottom bracket cups along with Shimano and a bunch of others.
