Power steering pulley threads?

[m5bb]

Does anyone know if the threads to get the nut off to remove the pulley are left or right.

Not enough showing on the shaft to be able to tell.

Trying to get pulley off to have powder coated.

Thanks,
Gary

Thanks Steve. Hope I can get it off. PB blaster soaking right now.

Yes it is left hand CC threads.
Got it off but had to do a little heating to get nut loose.

I'm not clear on what you mean. Your description is internally conflicting. From Wikipedia:

By common convention, right-handedness is the default handedness for screw threads. Therefore, most threaded parts and fasteners have right-handed threads. Left-handed thread applications include:
​

• • Where the rotation of a shaft would cause a conventional right-handed nut to loosen rather than to tighten due to fretting induced precession. Examples include:
  • The left hand pedal on a bicycle.[2]
  • The left-hand grinding wheel on a bench grinder.
  • The lug nuts on the left side of some automobile.

Illustration of the right hand rule:

Gun it off.

It's standard RH thread to tighten, it has a key on the shaft to keep it from slipping.

You should ask Chris why he is so knowledgeable about power steering pulleys.

Ok, I'll bite (he he): Chris, why are you so knowledgeable about power steering pulleys?

I got my Phd in PS pulleys as a young man?

Something like that. I recall something along the lines of a 2800 power steering pulley that was not reversible.
