Default Tow hook license plate
Anyone familiar with this plate holder? I just bought this car and the previous owner had it and I can’t for the life of me remove the main bolt or screw. I was able to loosen it and then it just got tight again and I can’t turn it further (counter clockwise)

In my experience tow hooks are reverse threaded. So counterclockwise is tightening it.

Can someone else also confirm the 718 tow hook thread is reversed?

Yes, reverse threaded. I use it multiple times yearly so can confirm 100%.
