This particular one is a left hand thread and was very stiff I placed a escape compass over the top to check it and watched the compass move 180 degrees around and spin once or twice which it would not do it was a normal button .
I had to put a very small amount of very fine gun oil on the tread area and left it for 10 minutes this then turned fairly easy arfter this, the glass is misssing but i cant complain about that.
