bolt thread-tensioner pulley

Hi folks: Quick ?? 1995 f-250 PSD. Trying to replace all pullies on this truck. Are the threads on these pullies right or left handed? I think they are right handed but I am having a very difficult time trying to remove this pulley from the tensioner housing. Soaked it overnight but still won't give and I don't want to snap the arm off the tensioner housing. Thank you everybody. Jim

They have a tendency to stick in.

I forgot which direction it is though.

Pulley thread

Thanks for your reply. Finally got all of them off after a night of soaking in high quality military grade solvent. All are right hand threads. Jim
