Re: The MTB thread
Does anyone know if bottom brackets are left or right thread? Just tried taking one out of my daily and the tool snapped after I put a bar on it.

Re: The MTB thread
Should all be standard right hand thread. Have you used any penetration fluid on the bolt?

Re: The MTB thread
Left hand one (as you sit on it) does up in the normal way
Right hand cup does up the other way ie the wrong way But BB's are prone to seizing in place, if the threads wren't greased regularly.

Re: The MTB thread
Not been out in six years and I wound it the wrong way.

Re: The MTB thread
Depending on what the cups are made of, its probably safe to say they might not come out.
Any water or moisture goes down the seat tube & collects in the BB with obvious results

Re: The MTB thread

Re: The MTB thread
I think I used an impact gun attached to my extractor to loosen one stubborn BB cup.
I had a similar problem with a pedal I couldn't remove from a crank.

Re: The MTB thread
Might have to soak it then use a chisel as my tool slipped and broke.

Re: The MTB thread
If you've got time, take a pic of the offending BB cup
