Ummmmm, I pulled mine off a few years ago to check if the chain tensioner was broken. (It wasn't.) IIRC, it was a normal righthand thread. However I wouldn't stake my life on that. It's not a clear memory other than that I smashed a finger pretty good. I was holding a smaller pipe or wrench or something to try and keep the engine from turning (don't remember what it might have been attached to) while a big burly friend pulled in the opposite direction on a large breaker bar. I lost. But I'm pretty sure it was a righthanded thread. Why do say yours is frozen?
