Better to crash and burn than fade away

I have one of these tools but its very multi-purpose and OS-ly in design. 

Does your BB have 6 notches?

Does it also have 2 pin holes in the center like the top picture?    If it does then you'll need a pin spanner!!

  Do any of the modern BB tools fit your BB?

Would this one do it?

http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.asp?cat=25&item=BBT%2D18

Is there a Suntour Part number for the BB?

This is a suntour bottom bracket spanner!!    Whether it fits yours I dont know!!!

Have you tried using a screwdriver and tapping it out?

I might have something that fits but I'd have to check the dimensions!!

PM me tonight to remind me!! 

The only other way is get someone to make a tool.    Rooski might be able to do it!!

Park Tool OBW-3 spanner has a 14mm spanner end and a 30mm diameter brake centering tool end (for caliper brakes to adjust the springs to centre the brake)

The outside diameter of the 2 blades is 30mm and the inside is 26mm with each blade being 2mm thick.   Each blade is around 4mm min to 5mm max wide (I'm using a shitty ruler to measure.





If the gaps between the spines are around 4-5mm then it should fit okay!!
