Angry removing fan clutch on 96 e-320

Can anyone tell me if the 8mm nut holding the fan clutch on is a Right or Left hand thread?

Thanks for the quick reply

Unlike a BMW which is clockwise to remove the fan nut I was a bit timid to use a great deal of force.
I have driven the car and it still runs about 100c (give or take about 5 deg) what is right for this car?
