Years ago I took off a BB with a hammer and a screw driver , might work if it is not seized .

That's one of those little 'top hat' plugs, isn't it?
When I needed one, I walked to the LBS round the corner and bought one for about £4!

I tried putting 1p coins in first but kept bending them!

It's not worth the risk of goosing the BB. The tool is much cheaper

aye the 1p coins bend, thanks for that, were they the correct diameter?
the reason i asked was because i watched a vid from the usa yesterday and they had pulled it off using some transit type coins specific to america. cheers colin.

The diameter seemed right. I tried using 2 but the top one bent and then the one underneath. I think a circular piece of metal the size of a 1p piece and twice the thickness would work.
