I have a flymo hover mower....which way does the blade undo?

i want to replace the blade on my E30 Hover mower but i cannot remember which way the screw turns anti or clockwise, its plastic so i do not want to chew it up....whoever thought of a plastic screw must have realised that it would wear out sooner or later but a metal one wouldnt.

It's plastic coated metal!

My plastic one is 17 years old and shows no sign of wearing out - try undoing it anticlockwise - it works for me.

You really do need to use the special Flymo plastic spanner though...

Good luck...
