Pretty much as the title says. Learning mechanic skills on an old free bike. Believe this is cup and cone BB and trying to find the right tool to get it off. Thanks!

No, you want park tool hcw-5, hcw-11, and hcw-4.
Not quite, these two are what you need

No, those cone wrenches are used for cup and cone wheel hubs. Park Tool makes a specific wrench for what you have there. Park Tool has an extensive catalogue of repair videos on YouTube that are super helpful. When in doubt, check there.

The lockring can be removed with a smal chisel and a hammer then the internals. The other cup can be removed with a DIY tool (info here: [https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/bbcups.html](https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/bbcups.html) )
A crescent wrench will also work for that drive side bb cup.
The adjustable cup (non drive side) should be a 16mm box wrench or cone wrench. The drive side fixed cup in theory can come off with a 36mm or adjustable wrench. You’ll likely need to be creative in getting it off. Sheldon brown (rip) is your friend:
