Raleighs of this era had a half type protuberance i had a couple of Randonneur 708's with same feature , i think it means they were built in Taiwan if memory serves.. will

I tried the Sheldon Brown tool as well, also with absolutely no success at all - same thing happened to me as to you, the washers got bent and pushed into the hole in the cup and nothing moved.

I wonder if anyone's ever successfully used that Sheldon tool?

I am a leg-end in my own shed for removing BB's

I use the correct tool on all occasions as they are fairly cheap. Adjustable spanners (wrenches) can snap or bend.

I know someone who has used it with success, I am only say that he is massive man and has excellent tools - this combination may be the secret. If I had not been successful, £5 at the LBS would be quicker than months of weight lifting etc. to achieve the objective!

I put the flats of the cup in a bench vise on stubborn cups and use the frame as a lever. Never failed yet.
