This side (righthand side from the drivers seat to avoid any confusion) was a lefthand thread - clockwise to undo, anti-clockwise to fit the new one. I used the 'thread count' method to get the position the same.

Am I right in thinking the pitman arm drag link adjusts the steering wheel only, not the toe in/out alignment ?
You are right. Drag link adjusts the steering wheel so you can center it. Tie rod adjusts toe.
