Before I drive myself nuts trying to remove the rear axle castle nut on my 64 Allstate (VBN) scooter, is this reverse threaded?

I've used the search and cannot seem to find a definitive answer.

Specifically the rear castle nut holding the tire, not the clutch.

Thanks

NO, lefty loosey, righty tighty. Spray some PB blaster on it. Try a little heat as well.

Counterclockwise, use air impact driver or breaker bar. Heavy friend on seat to keep tire from spinning helps.

Thank you.

Already soaking with PB, so I'll hit it with some heat and hope to pop it loose.
