Right hand threads. Right to tighen left to loosen.
you have to prevent the crankshaft from turning when you loosen the retaining nut. the nut is probably left-hand threads(loosen by turning clockwise). remove the spark plug, turn the sprocket (and crankshaft) to the left until the piston is at the bottom of the cylinder, insert enough nylon pull starter rope into the spark plug hole to fill the cylinder, turn the sprocket to the right until the rope is compacted enough to prevent the piston from moving, put a wrench on the nut and tap with enough force to break it loose. replace the sprocket and use the same process in reverse to tighten the nut, don't go nuts tightening, it will tighten itself as you use the saw. a dealer might give you the correct torque specs.
The front compression nut is right handed, however the nut hold the clutch hub is left handed.
