Well, I removed BB of this '71 Paramount that had fixed-cup on left and adj on right. They came off with appropriate amount of torque and proper cup direction. I found the BB-shell (non-Nervex, Prugnat?) threads buggered-up/partially stripped, so now a decision: I could reinstall backwards, as found, even though I wouldn't do that. Re-tap correctly in english and hope there's enough meat to hold. Or re-tap to italian.
My apologies to Schwinn for initially thinking they tapped the BB backwards.
A shake of my head to the individual who installed the cups backwards...I would not have imagined this was even possible!
