Hello this is a stupid question but I need the help. Which way does the nut turn to come off on the clutch basket? I ordered my tool and got the washer flatened back out so once I get the tool I don't want to break anything so is it the same as all rightie tightie, lefty looseie or does it turn to the right to come off? Thanks in advance as you all are so great on here with awsome info.

I seen that in both my manuals as I have the original service manual, and the clymer, but it doesn't tell you in either one which way to turn it to come off. Thats why I was hoping someone has done it on here before. You would think they would have an arrow or something showing you which way to turn it but it don't, and I don't want to go messing anything up on it, but I have to take the clutch basket off to get to the counter balance gear so I can get the key replaced or see if I have to replace the whole thing. Thank you for the input I just hope someone can let me know within a few days as I'm still waiting on the clutch tool, so should be here wensday so as long as I know by then I'm good lol.

pretty sure it is left hand thread. make sure to use some locktite when you go back together.  when i tore mine down for rebuild the hub nut was barely on,  had backed off.
