BB & HS tools
 
I'm getting parts to install on my frame, and I'll need tools to install them.

Sugino 75 BB: Park HCW-5 lockring spanner? I have a Hozan C-205... will that work as well?
1" threaded headset: 30mm/32mm or 32mm/36mm cone wrenches?

Thanks.

for the bottom bracket - get a bottom bracket tool (cheap)
for the headset - a headset tool is expensive, but you can buy parts to build one from the hardware store (I built one with HighPants and I think the whole thing cost around $4 and worked like a champ) There's also a special wrench for tightening your headset that's around $15
for the cone wrenches, are you rebuilding your hubs?

All in all buying tools is always more fun than having your bike worked on by someone else...

Since when don't threaded headsets require a press?

And the OP referred to headset wrenches as cone wrenches for some reason. 30/32mm or 32/36mm are what you need for tightening and adjusting the headset.

Thanks for clarifying that.

I'm not looking to install a headset, just adjusting the cones, or whatever they're called.

Oh, then yeah, you need headset wrenches.

Yeah, whoops. Hence why I deleted my post. That and it was kind of mean.
