Subject: [CR]Question: BB fixed cup

Item: 70mm shell Bianchi bb.... Frame made in Italy mid 80's Columbus tubing I need to remove the fixed cup. This must be a common problem. I don't want to muck up the threads, but I have no way of knowing which way to turn the fixed cup. You can't see in there to determine which way the threads are running. If I make a mistake I will have damaged the frame. Which way should I remove the fixed cup....Normal counterclockwise or clockwise?
