Just picked up a pair of Nemesis from Ital-Tecno. One of the counterweights is a little off center. It seems to be attached with a circular nut that would appear to accept a fairly wide slot screw driver blade. Anyone know which direction that thing's threaded or have any tips for how I can straighten it?

So it's righty loosey then?

Definitely (normal) right-hand thread. Right (clockwise) to tighten, left (anti-clockwise) to loosen.
Once loose, just reposition and tighten. A little loctite on the threads would not hurt, but should not be necessary either.

Straightening the counter weight isn't either... :)

I'm a little anal. Guilty as charged.

I also recommend the far superior Italian threading on BBs...

wait for it.

I already have one of those. The Ambrosios are going on a Pegoretti.
