All City 612 Crankset and BB (stuck square BB)
So im having extreme difficulty getting the drive side bottoms bracket to budge. i have the PT BBT-22 and feel I might strip or slip off that bihhh...
Any tricks or videos one could hip me too... (been trying to stay out of the bike shop and learn how to breakdown everything myself... so far it seems im failing with this BB!)
Thanks in advance.

I use an M8x1.0 bolt plus some washers to hold the tool onto the BB when I really need to give it the business. Also, make sure you're turning it the right way.

Your cog is slipping.
You don't need a video. Just put an M8 bolt through your BB cup tool, securing it to the spindle & cup.

What Scrodzilla said. You can also use a vise to hold the tool after you've secured it with the M8 bolt. You can then grab the frame and turn it instead of turning the tool. This will give the leverage you need. As was pointed out by ThermionicScott, make certain you turn in the proper direction.
