Beginner question.

I want to remove the expander ball (I will be using a mandrel). It is seriously screwed on tight

When removing the expander ball from a Forster FL Sizing die, does it unscrew towards or away from the pin?
 
Rightytighty leftyloosie if I remember correct. I had to grab mine with a pair of pliers to break it free. Wrap the ball with something as to not damage it.
