What are the directions for removing the bottom bracket bearing caps? I am trying to re-purpose a Mongoose MTB frame I was given. The crank axle is "wobbly" within its housing.  I want to get into the housing to replace the bearings, but can't for the life of me, remember the directions to remove the end caps!  I know from experience that if I get the direction wrong I'll end up tightening the cap!  Pics would be advantageous, all help appreciated.
Parktool has the directions you seek in this nice howto



and



Note that this works fine for English threaded BB/frames (so with the majority of modern bikes). If you were to ever work on a classic Italian or french bike with Italian threads, the directions would be reversed on the drive side.
