To loosen a left-hand bolt, which is typically threaded in the opposite direction, you need to turn it clockwise. If it’s stubborn, apply penetrating oil and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Use a wrench or socket that fits snugly, and exert steady pressure while ensuring you’re turning in the correct direction. If necessary, use a breaker bar for additional leverage.
