Well, I for one am glad that we have managed to display our collective knowledge of this complex technical matter for the benefit of a newcomer.
J, get yourself a 15mm spanner from Leyland SDM for £3 and you should be all set. Only Pifko's assertion that the threading is designed so the axle won't unscrew from the crank is false, his advice on thread direction and Jersey's tip are correct.
