the drive side - i.e. the crank side - has left handed thread.
other side is normal right hand thread.
search posts on here for how to remove a stubborn BB - you can use a bolt/washer to hold the BB tool in place as it is very eary for it to slip , usually taking a few teeth out of the BB in the process.

Bolt the tool to the BB axle and a suitable length of spanner
A suitable length you need, as to do other means you struggle to put the torque on it and usually end up damaging something while youre trying to find a work around :?
If you have access to a big sturdy vice sitting on a large immovable bench you can bolt in the tool, mount the whole thing in the vice and use the entire frame for leverage
Id done this on many occasions and sometimes without any worry as to damaging the frame as we want the BB only and the frames cracked or something
I put so much strain on it that each time im sure it will all start to bend but its always the BB cup that gives out first.
The important thing is the bolting of the tool. That must not slip under any circumstances

Re:
Question about bolting the tool onto the spindle - what size bolt/thread should be used?
I have a threaded rod that's the right diameter (can't remember what it is now.. M8?), but the thread was all wrong. It looked like the thread on the rod was too widely spaced, and I needed a higher TPI?

Last time I extracted a BB - bearing in mind I have the Shimano version of the cartridge square tape BB tool - I just used a crank bolt (well the self-extracting / 8mm allen key head ones) to hold the tool in.cce":48ksbd7k said:
I do have the Pedros tool for this too, but truth be told, a simple crank bolt held it in fine.
+1 for just using a washer/piece of scrap metal with a hole and a "normal" crank bolt to hold it in place.
If you are respraying it and its strugglign to move, consider blow torching the bottom bracket shell first to help release the bond.
It cannot possibly be more stuck than mine on my kili e stay, and that came out this way, with a 7 foot pole for leverage.
