on bb with a dust cap like on a shimano square taper chainset and BB do both the threaded dust caps run from a right hand thread od does the drive side have a left hand thread and the non drive side a right hand thread. i ask this as i am trying to remove the drive side dust cap and it will not move. The non drive side is off as it has a normal right sided thread (ie clockwise to tighten and counter clockwise to loosen). Otherwise when the crank was fitted 300 miles ago the mechanic must have been a gorilla. Any advice is welcomed to remove this cap.Cheers
I don't mind what they say... as long as they say its enormous

    Threads in the cranks are std RH threads as this is where the crank extractor screws in. Both the same on each side.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
