Left hand thread. Right to loosen
Thank you!
Ahhh. Memories and visions of early F250 owners trying their level best to obliterate their drivers side rear wheel lugs and wheel stud threads. 
I was also taught that ANY time I make a LH thread in the machine shop to make sure that I ALWAYS stamp a L onto the end of the stud or rod (if at all possible, some of the smaller threads get pretty tricky if you don't have any stamps small enough!), and turn a cut / notch out in the center of the hex end of a bolt or a nuts perimeter to notate it's left hand threaded.
It's saved my ass a few times when I reach for the wrench and notice the cutout and go "Right. Lefty Tighty. Now, which one is Left again?" {makes L with both hands to see which ones left}
