This is a left hand thread. It loosens opposite of normal. If that doesn't work you'll have to cut it off.

Yes either side is fine. This is a well thought out product. I prefer holing on the left as I am right handed but, either side opened or closed this is comfortable!!!!

YES. . .only inside the threads are 'reversed' Left Hand. On this adapter, both outside threads are right hand [on/in]

It's opposite, you have to turn it to the right to loosen and left to tighten

They have the left pedal bolt threading reversed when it should be the right one. This causes the pedal bolts to "unwind" and loosen when pedaling forward. I called the customer service for fisher price / mattel and the guy said that if I followed the directions, it would have been fine. You don't need to be an engineer to know that a reverse-threaded left pedal bolt and a standard threaded right pedal bolt will cause both pedal bolts to unscrew under forward pedalling. I guess they hired a managers kid to be their quality control tech and/or design engineer. EASY FIX: After you call customer support to have them resend the bolts and pedals (no charge), go to Lowes, Home Depot, Northern Tool, Ace, etc. and get a high strength epoxy designed for metal to metal. I used Loctite Threadlocker 271 Red. Put the bolts through the pedals all the way. Then dab a little of the red glue on just the bolt threading. It's kinda runny, so be careful. Coat the outter 2/3 of the length of threading (from the tip inward 2/3 of the length, so that when you tighten it, there won't be any squeezed out to get on the plastic pedal). Now, do one pedal at a time and make sure you adhere to the R or L on the bolt head. While holding the outside of the pedal, keep the bolt head (non glued end) pushed in to fully expose the threading on the other end. Mate the bolt threading to the female threading on the crank and SLOWLY turn it BACKWARD. This backward pedalling motion will tighten the bolt (when, if correctly designed, should loosen them). When you feel the threads engage, continue to turn until you have no more finger space left on the bolt head. Then use a wide-head screwdriver to snug it completely. Repeat this with the other side. The glue sets in about 10 minutes, but I did it just after my son had gone to sleep to allow the full 10 hours for the glue to cure. Be sure to spin the pedals a few minutes after you apply it to make sure none of the glue is holding them. Hey Fisher Price, my resume's available if you want it! ;-)

That's interesting, you're more observant than I was. Mine is installed and the handle is on the right as in the specs and it's on the right side of my sink. Would or could it be reversed if it was on the left side of the sink??

It is threaded, yes. Looks like you could get another handle if needed, provided it matched the size/diameter of the threads on the head.

Yes, it's on the left. It's exactly what's shown here in the picture. It is not reversible.

No it cannot be reversed. It is attached with small Torx screws but cannot be relocated.

The one I purchased was right-handed. Also, it's a little too hard for my 6 year old son to pull back, so be sure the child is able to pull back every bit of 18 lbs of pressure!

There is a knob to the immediate left of the handle. You push that to the right.

Unscrew it in the opposite direction than you would a regular nut, clockwise. Plumbing attachments often have reverse threads.

Yes, there is some side to side movement, but it appears there is some sort of spring inside that keeps the head straight. There is an allen or torks wrench opening on one side of the head so it would appear that you could tighten it if required. I haven't seen any problem with the head that would require tightening however.

If your talking about the hex head screw then yes its a regular lefty lucy righty tighty screw. Its not left handed threads. Its pretty tight. You'll hear somewhat of a loud snap when it breaks loose. Its built pretty tough so dont worry. It'll scare ya the first time .

The bits are "left-handed" - yes. Correct - many times the screw will come out before requiring the extractor.

No, it only grips in one direction (it grips for the 'lefty loosey'). This will not work for your application. I'm not aware of any bolt extrators for left-handed threads, but you could try using a (small-ish) tap and a regular high-grade bolt inside the bolt or just drilling the whole bolt out.
