Interesting. I guess my problem is unique.

Nope..its very very common with most people. Most folks have so little
experience with lefthand threads that its rare and unique to most of
them.

About the most lefthand thread use that I can think of were lug nuts
on some older motor vehicles

And of course..bicycle cranks....

So how many people actually learn to turn em?
Few.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie



Tie rod ends on most vehicle have one RH one LH. Some fan clutches as
well. A few others still out there as well, usually in spots where a RH
thread would tend to loosen from the predominant torque direction, or
when a company wants to make it difficult for after market add-ons.
