Default clutch nut
Is the XL clutch hub nut left handed? I have an empty clutch hub, how do I hold the inner hub to remove the nut? Thanks

You need a tool like this:

Harley-Davidson Sportster 1000 1971-1984 Clutch Holding Tools - GB Motorcycle Products

For my 45 I just made on from some flat stock I had. I would guess left handed, but only a guess, good luck

Not much really required if the Lock is Utilized properly!!
I still use a Rattle Gun (air impact) not aggressively...in fact I hold the Hub with my other hand!!
