KTM Engine Question

[Chakka]

I am disassembling a KTM engine and have a few questions. On the clutch side of the engine, what direction are the threads for the pinion gear that mounts on the crank shaft and the 32mm clutch hub nut? I don’t want to damage anything and these seem to be on very tight.

The only left hand thread on the engine I believe is the flywheel nut.  I know the two your talking about on the left side are regular right hand thread.  Make sure you have bent the lock washers back down all the way flat or they can hold up the nut from comming lose!
