Um, I assumed that the sprocket is threaded the same way as the lock ring, as they seem to be on the same thread on the hub.

Is that an error?

Opposite way. Otherwise the lockring wouldn't be holding the cog on.

The cog comes off anti clockwise. Ie the opposite to the way the chain would be pulling it if you were pedalling

Thanks, how did I not think of that? I was so sure I was doing it right, didn't even have a cursory Google.

Feel slightly overwhelmed by my own stupidity now!

Ah well. Just hope it comes off after I've spent half an hour getting it super tight.
