Raw Water pump unscrewing pulley wheel

[carlager]

I need to unscrew the pulley wheel on our water pump">raw water pump ( type Johnson F4B-903).

Which way do I turn the retaining nut - counter clockwise/left or clockwise/right)

It looks like a Nyloc nut so it's probably a RH nut so turn it C-clockwise. LH nuts usually have a notch in the hex of the nuts, so check first.

You are right. Turning it counter clock will loosen the screw.

Thanx for your help

Right hand threads, " lefty loosy, righty tighty."
Facing the work.
The opposite for left hand threads.😉
