No offense, but Jay P's answer is backward. On an English threaded bike like your Kona, both BB cups tighten toward the back of the bike and loosen toward the front. In other words, the drive side is reverse-threaded. This is the opposite of pedals. Also, even when you turn the correct way it can take a LOT of force to break the cups free if they were installed tightly or have been in for a while. Start with the non-drive side.

One side of the cups are reverse threaded. I believe that just like pedals, off is towards the rear of the bike.
