Clockwise lockwise. Windershins looser.
Never heard that one before, thx.
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.

Hell yeah. Though, I do get strange looks when I’m giving a thumbs up or down to an inanimate object…

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.
They better remember this when they’re doing Lewis’s wheels next year!
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
