As far as I know, it is a right hand thread (normal). :)

Normal thread, not reverse. Best to undo it whilst the diff is in the car.

I use a 400mm long 20mm box section with 2 holes in it, i slap bolts in two flange holes and a breaker bar on the nut.

Undoes in seconds!

Or as above, get someone to hold on the brakes or use the pissy handbrake.
