Jubilee crank oil pump gear, left or right hand thread?

Forums

 Hi guys, can anybody tell me if the oil pump gear on the end of the crankshaft it right or left hand thread, I have been struggling to undo it and it occurred to me that it might be a left hand thread so that it tightens with the rotation of the engine. Don't want to do damage trying to turn it the wrong way!!!

Should be left Hand Thread - The only one on this engine.

The Gearbox Sprocket Thread is also LHT.

Thanks for the info, I suddenly thought it might be, the same as wheel studs on a truck. Much appreciated. Good luck with your bike.
