I have a Dewalt Angle Grinder DW 402. It has a thin cutting wheel
mounted per the instructions -- with the threaded clamp nut on the
spindle so the raised section (pilot) is not against the wheel.

I am now having trouble removing the nut. I cannot find that the
instructions mention which way the nut threads off. I think I may have
turned it the wrong way trying to remove it and over tightened it. Any
tips on freeing the nut?

Mine has a standard right-hand thread. Mine also jams occasionally --
probably from corrosion from our very wet climate.

I hate doing this to the lock pin, but I've resorted to whacking the nut's
grooves with a punch when the cheap Chinkalloy wrench only bent.
