Replaced mine yesterday
RH thread, so counter clockwise to remove,
There should be enough thread exposed for you to confirm that.
I find that the air impact wrench is a lot easier than by hand for removing these.

best go to the spares shop for your make of bike as lh threads are few and far between as they fit a specific job

I read something yesterday about removing the radiator fan blades. I think they said the nuts do turn the opposite way.

I thint it was on www.youtube.com
Search for "Civic Radiator Replacement"
Hope this helps.
