Ryobi from Home Depot ... I realize it's a reverse thread.
Ryobi supples two wrenches and there seems to plenty
of torque. Still under return for 45 more days but I hate to
return an item this expensive because someone overightened
the nut at the factory. If I get the nut off will I have damaged
anything? ... I mean if the damage isn't obvious. Is there any
damage done from overtightening in the first place?

Always loosen a saw blade arbor nut in the same direction that the blade
spins.

So, being a left tilt saw, which this probably is, the threads are not
LH. My right tilt delta is reverse threads, or LH. My jobsite Dewally
is a left tilt and they thread on normally. Hey asphalt, you better
try righty-tighty lefty-loosy before you take it back brother.
