Haven't been into any new ones but if memory serves me that is a left hand thread and is put on at a pretty high torque. If I was home I'd look in my Service Manual but I'm a long way from home...Sorry.

The comp nut is normal right hand thread. The nut for the clutch basket is left hand thread.

I stand corrected...It's been awhile since I've had to get in there and do anything.
