[s-cars] head advice

[Kirby Smith]

A better approach, in my opinion, is to recall the handedness of the
screw or bolt.  A right-hand screw, used in most applications except
where there is a reason to use left-hand screws due to rotational
loosening, follows not surprisingly the right-hand screw rule.  The
screw goes in the direction of one's right thumb when turned in the
direction of one's right hand fingers.  Similarly, left-hand screws
follow the left-hand rule.

The right-hand rule is also used to define right-hand coordinate frames
which typically underlie rules of physics and electromagnetics.

Think of turnng your steering wheel to the right to tighten and to the left to loosen. It gets trickey when the bolt is facing away from you as it was when Dave "unloosened" his bolt.
