Thanks in advance!

I've not worked on a CC, but the 3 or 4 other brands I have worked on
have always had standard (RH) bolts. Blades always seem to have a
secondary way to prevent blade torque from loosening the blade, such
as pins or a star-shaped shaft, or a flat recess for the blade, so the
bolt is not constantly resisting the turning force. Nevertheless, I
usually use a non-permanent thread locking compound (locktite) when
reassembling, and torque to specs.
