Hi I have only managed to remove the non drive side cup as I dont have a spanner big enough for the drive side . I dont know which direction normal is but when I twisted out the non drive side cup I had to turn it anti clockwise as I faced it . I have just tried a spare British cup on that side and it fits ! So I think problem solved then ?With that and going on miamijims advice I'm gonna go ahead and order a sealed cartridge cottered crank with british threads and hope for the best .
