However damn nut that holds flange in place is either VERY tight or its opposite direction thread. So can someone tell me if its normal thread (i.e unscrewing comes anti-clockwise) or opposite? So when i will apply real force i would know which direction to apply Thanks!   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 1480 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 15, 2004 - 09:36 am:    It is standard thread direction, (lefty loosey )It is a nylock nut with threadlocker also which makes it tougher than some - torque spec is pretty high too. Either use an impact wrench or a 2 ft breaker bar - it will come off easily then.
