Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

One major point. The fixed cup (the one on the crank's side of the bottom bracket) is left-hand threaded so it must be turned clockwise to remove it. The lockring and cup on the opposite side have common right-hand threading.
