Drive shaft Sprocket

[Nelly]

Hi guys,
Can someone clarify if the drive shaft Sprocket has a reverse thread?
I am trying to undo mine and don't want to sheer it off. Is it the normal righty tighty and lefty loosey?
Cheers

The thread on the output shaft should be normal RH thread... lefty loosy. If it has been hammer with some locktite a little bit of heat will help to brake it loose.

It's not a reverse thread but it is very tight. I made the mistake of breaking my chain before loosening the nut and had to semi-fit the new chain then put a wooden stake through the back wheel to get the sprocket nut loose.
