      Nope, it's a normal right-hand thread. It is held in with thread locker, so it will take quite a lot of torque to crack loose.


      Even when you figure something out or you think you might have posted a dumb question (and this was definitely NOT a dumb question), it's best to post the answer or solution here because it will very likely help someone else.

        was a good question really as a lot of people get it wrong.as bwringer says its a normal r/h thread but its a fine thread and should be fitted with threadlock so can make it a bitch to undo. an air gun makes easy work if you have access to one, but torque it up properly when refitting.
