Do you mean the knob part that you'd pull out away from the brass fitting? If so I think it is righty tighty, lefty loosey.
When I took apart mine I used a bit of heat then discovered the remains of a tiny cotter pin that went through the base of the knob and through the pin. Once I punched it out they unscrewed.
I also bought NOS pins from Brian Asbury to replace my rusted out ones. I found water must have gotten into the brass fittings and rusted the springs and parts of the shafts. Not sure if Brian still has them though
