Loosen Clockwise or Counterclockwise?

Car screws are loosened counterclockwise. Here is some relevant information about car screws: 1. Design Reason: The majority of screws have right-hand thread designs because: they follow the principles of ergonomics, with the speed direction relative to the rotation axis obeying the right-hand rule. Over 90% of people are right-handed, making it convenient for most users, and right-hand threads are easier to manufacture, especially in large-thread turning processes. 2. Precautions: Screws are critical fasteners in cars, and the tightness and tightening sequence of these fasteners are very strict; otherwise, they can pose safety hazards.
