Not that I've ever changed the belt on a transit, but it is common for spinny things to have a backwards thread to stop the nut loosening whilst in motion

For example scooter crankshaft variator and clutch nuts, some are left hand thread some aren't, you soon figure out when you try moving it

I think from when I last did one it was a left hand thread. It's not to big a job you might as well change the other belts while you have them off.
