Answer is yes.........hold cylinder your left hand, with rod knurled end facing you. With your right hand grasp the knurled tip of the ejector rod and then just pretend you are holding a normal bolt head in your right hand, and your left hand is holding the "nut".

With bolts and nuts normally threaded for right hand threads, you tighten by turning to the right, hence the old machinists saying: "Righty tighty...lefty loosey"...meaning Clockwise to tighten, Counterclockwise to loosen.

The OPPOSITE is true with left hand threads, meaning (same holding orientation).. turn bolt head Counterclockwise to tighten, turn clockwise to loosen.

Hope this helps.
