Basically it's got a small wedge-shaped front, isn't threaded internally and I want it removed to fit a square taper bottom bracket (width tbc):
Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well. Sheldon has a photo of what I meant here:

No. The cup's got a thread but the hole doesn't have a thread in it. The only bit to get purchase on is the small flat section, for which I'd need to borrow my work's vice.

Big nut and bolt and some washers and it will move
That looks like the adjustable cup, left side, isn't it?

Ah, ok, hadn't seen a drive side like that before. Still, check Sheldon for the nut and bolt method, you don't need a thread in the spindle hole.

Changed the pads and fluid in the rear brake on the hybrid. The lever was touching the bar and while the pads were on their last half mm it was strange.
After bleeding found the lever bleed port screw wouldn't tighten. Turns out the thread is damaged and possibly had a tiny fluid leak from there. The lever has been whacked, bent and bent back more times that I care to remember so can't complain.
So I guess I now need a new lever as the thread is part of the body, not the replacable lid. M615 levers now discontinued so I'm guessing it's going to be a 6000 lever unless I can find a s/h body, possibly from something with a fubar clamp or bent or snapped pull.

Is it just shadow or is there some black "gunk" in the threads. Loctite?

It'll be the original grease, with dirt and mud. Plus blue gloss paint on top for good measure as the previous owner painted everything blue without cleaning first. Oh, and a good bit of rust.
