tried to remove the bottom bracket on my 80's Motta today, left side was OK but the ring on the right cup was stuck, Shedon Brown says Italian are both RH threads,so I tried going right and couldnt get it loose, then tried leftand still no go , I did not get really hard on it either direction for fear of stripping it,Its a Shimano Dura ace square taper BB,Before I get real heavy on the wrench, is there a way I can determine if its really a RH thread on that side?? since it appears really tough to find a square taper
bottom bracket,in Italian threads, to replace it I really do not want to risk stripping it..
Any direction would be appreciated...Thanks...(I am just going to clean and lube it)
