Where can I find one to remove this Profile notched one? Any shops selling them cheap? Preferably online and PayPal. Need it asap.

if you don't want to buy the tools, take it into a bike shop (not Halfrauds) and they will have the tools and charge you about a fiver  :daumenhoch:

I have called all the bike shops in the area and none of them have one. One told me that the nearest place that would have it is 25km away. My partner has the car (200km away) so this is not an option. I don't mind to purchase the tool but it's just finding one. I think there is an Halfords in the town; would it be so wrong to go there? Lol. Thanks for the help, guys. I'm in Wolverhampton right now and it's difficult to understand why none of the shops have this tool...

You know, one kinda falls just outside of the area I searched for. They have this online. 'HollowTech' style. It looks right. There's not more than one size is there?

If it's a Hollowtech II tool then i would seriously question that the shops you called are actual bike shops?  ???  all bike shops will have a hollowtech II tool

do you plan to use it again?  if not just get some big mole grips and clamp round them

When I called them, I didn't refer to them as HollowTech, only as euro bb. So just to confirm, it is a HollowTech I need, as I have just found this on eBay.
