robertj,
The 36mm wrench from Menards cost $18 and works quite well. It is long enough to give plenty of leverage when removing a fixed cup that is a bit stubborn. Smiles, MH

Don't be afraid to attach a pvc pipe to the cup wrench for leverage

And the way it is deployed so it stays in place while using a cheater, with the frame securely held in place so you can really lean in when necessary.

That is one tool that will never leave my arsenal so long as it survives.

It seems to me that it wraps around the lockring, compressing it to hold and overpower it.
It is the best in the business as far as I'm concerned, as is The "Mighty" Sugino Mighty Competition crank, every bit as strong, tough and beautiful as any other.
