Then that would mean, by your definition, that your arbor was designed
incorrectly. My left tilt Craftsman has a right hand (standard) thread. I
think there is some terminology confusion happening in this thread. All
said, stick a block of wood against the blade, put the wrench on the nut and
pull toward you. Works for left or right tilt.

Not necessarily so. My left tilt Craftsman has a left hand nut for the
arbor. The arbor should be designed such that normal rotation of the saw
tends to tighten the nut.
