What tools do I need to take out BB?

Just as title states. I have a Hatta R9400 Bottom Bracket. I would rather take out the bb myself than let my LBS do it. Thank you.

channel locks a shop rag to keep the fixed cup from getting marred by the channel locks a lockring tool and a pin spanner or a set of bent needle nose pliers
20 bucks worth of tools at ace that you can use on other things as well and you should have a hook spanne anyways

What specific size lockring is the one on the bottom? I have a Dura Ace chainwhip with lockring, would that work for the bb?

I have this pin spanner tool^. Why is this such a biatch to take this bb out?! This tool sucks. Is there any other way to take this bb out? like a hammer and pick? It seems like the bb is all rusted and shiet as well for even more difficulty. arrghh..

A hammer.

Plumbers wrench.

I've seen this technique in use.

Very scary.
