Turn in the direction your fingers curl. *BAM*
Hi Kimmo -- True!
But.... I think the pedal thread comment comes from not remembering which pedal is RH and which is LH. So the "forward to tighten/Backward to loosen" hint is a good one that is easy to remember, especially when trying to remove a recalcitrant pedal.
