Clockwise lockwise. Windershins looser.
Never heard that one before, thx.
As a kid it took me a long time to understand what turning right even meant, because when the top goes right, the bottom goes left and the sides go up and down. It doesn’t make sense.
I’ve been wrenching on cars nearly 30 years. I’ve had mechanical maintenance as part of my actual job for a decade now. Two years ago it all finally clicked for me. Clockwise tight, counterclockwise loose.
If too much righty tighty then it might become loosy
“little bolt no good anymore” - maybe don’t use caveman strength on an 8mm bolt that holds no weight???
Seen it too many times. The biggest guy on the team grabs the biggest wrench he can find for the smallest fastener on the assembly. Maybe the wrench bends, maybe the head snaps, I’ve seriously considered getting torque limited Allan wrenches.
I recently had someone complain about a bolt getting hot while they were wrenching it. they created enough friction to notice it heating up. and then kept wrenching it.
also, I’ve started replacing normal bolts with rounded hand-bolts, which are nearly impossible to over-torque, so long as they don’t take a pair of pliers to them.

They better remember this when they’re doing Lewis’s wheels next year!
Not on all vehicles.
I broke 2 lug nuts off a Willys Army Jeep I was restoring in High School before I figured that one out.

Yeah… there’s a lot of reverse threaded stuff at my work.
just watched a sadly hilarious video of a mechanic struggle with reverse threads on highly specific rotating assembly. like, I get it, it’s not immediately obvious, but edit that wrong turn out if you want to make a serious explainer series. also, if you work with pivots that often, you have to expect that shit.
Still remember the day my grandfather taught me this
