Default Clutch fork ball stud

Question. Is the 12mm hex "bolt" on the ZF bell housing clutch fork a left-hand thread?
Thanks, Dave.

Thanks, Dave.
I presume you're talking about the clutch for stud itself (and not the locking piece) It's not left handed; from the rear of the bell housing, screw it CLOCKWISE it will move forward, toward the engine side

Thanks mt. I didn't want to hose up a mag bellhousing. To remove the bellhousing I had to cut two ears off the throwout bearing. It wouldn't turn to the flat areas. I found the spring wire for the throwout bearing hanging on the clutch plate. Don't know how that attaches.
Anyway thanks again.
