Unless it’s a propane tanks top spigot, then it’s lefty tighty righty don’t fuck with it.
I’m not sure if it’s a symptom of a mental disorder but I struggle with right vs left to this day. If someone says “turn left” it takes some mental power for me to decipher. But clockwise / anticlockwise is easy for some reason
Dyslexia / dysgraphia
This. I have mild dyslexia and dysgraphia and I refuse to give driving directions. I will point left, say right, and not even realize it and just confuse the shit out of my driver, lol.
Hell, I refuse to accept directions. My navigator will say left, I’ll go right, and they’ll look at me funny. If we’re in my car, we’re using GPS. No exceptions, even if we’re just going 3 blocks.
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.
👍right hand rule master race
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.
Torque specs? Keep going right till it gets loose again
Also, crossthreading = nature’s loctite.
shit, guess I’m replacing the whole thing now
Shouldn’t it be the exact opposite way for this wheel? From the closeness to the wall this should be the left rear wheel of the car. In order to prevent the bolts from unscrewing them self they should be a left thread on the left side of the car.
the left pedal of a bycycle also has a left thread instead of a right thread to avoid that from happening.
Only if it’s attached with one bolt in the center.
They better remember this when they’re doing Lewis’s wheels next year!
Clockwise lockwise. Windershins looser.
Never heard that one before, thx.
Unless you’re south of the equator …
La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera.
“We are checking”
Was gonna say that sounds about right for a Ferrari Mechanic 😂
not if it’s metric
Huh? It doesn’t matter if a right-winded thread is imperial or metric, its right winded.
/s
wasn’t very obvious then :)
Still remember the day my grandfather taught me this
It would be great if cats could fix cars… :)
Even though we would probably employ them and make them work 9-5 like another species I know.
What species works 9-5? I’d love to have more time off.
American yeah?
Yeah… Hopefully not in 10 years, if I do things right.
