Having problem unscrew this thing, does anyone know which side it should be, clockwise or anti-clockwise ? It's the advance lever of spotmatic F

Thanks a lot.

In the K1000 the advance lever cover goes reverse thread (clockwise to loose), so I would think it is similar.

I know at least one of them on the top is reverse threaded (clockwise to loosen) so it may very well be this one. Here is the service manual for the spotmatic that can hopefully shine some light on the problem. There is a wealth of old manuals at this site where the one I linked to is hosted.
