Oh yeah, the drive side cup is left-threaded and non-drive side is right-threaded on your Davidson.

Forgive me for being a little thick, but does that mean drive side removal is CCW and non-drive removal is CW?
I appreciate the input on the tools, too. I guess I'll be investing in those because I have a line on some alloy 8-speed cogs and would love the option of changing them out by myself.
Thanks for the nice comments! It's getting there - I'm finishing up the levers today if it kills me
