[censored] BB removal

get the bike sorted out, but being away this coming weekend means Ive
got to wait 2 weeks until I can get it down to the LBS (why don't they
open when we actually need them? :-)

Give the LBS a phone maybe? Ask if they'll stay open late/early for you?

Anyone got any suuggestions on how to remove a [censored] BB, without having
access to the correct tools?

No.

Mail/online order the tool?

The only ones I can find on wiggle that purport to remove a [censored] BB are £22 (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?W=0&Manufacturer=&UberCatName=&Cat=cycle&CategoryName=&ProdID=5360016514&UberCat=0)
and £48 (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?W=0&Manufacturer=&UberCatName=&Cat=cycle&CategoryName=&ProdID=5300003491&UberCat=0)
this seems a tad expensie for a tool I'll never use again. I was hoping that one of the 'Park BB tool for Sach /Campag' would fit, which is a damn site cheaper at £8 but since I don't have one I'm not sure. So could anyone tell me if this would work, or should I just wait 10 more days?

if the BB is to discarded and the cups are made out of plastic: heat and
a big hammer

Iffn your [censored] BB is the same as the one I had - plastic knurled wossname on
the non-drive side - I used to use something similar to this:

Mine's a Sugino and dates back to the early Bronze Age.

Putting just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl makes the
fishies' eyes bulge and causes them to swim in a very amusing manner.

It might, perhaps worth a go, but apparently it's poor as it slips easily.
The Tacx tool is excellent. It would fetch good money on eBay if resold
afterwards.
Note that it requires a large adjustable spanner.

When I was offered a [censored] BB by my LBS it was the price of the tool and
the likely difficulty in finding parts for it that made me buy as
standard Shimano one. Not that that's much help as an expensive tool is
about your only option if you want to keep the BB
