Compensating Nut

Does the compensating nut loosen to the left? Someone said it was thread lefty and I don't know what that means.

Yes....compensating sprocket loosens to the left.

Lefthanded thread means rather then the normal "Righty-tighty, lefty-loosie", it's the opposite. Left is tight, and right is loose.

The compensating sprocket is normal. The CLUTCH HUB NUT is the opposite one, or Lefthanded thread.
