Ed is correct, you should always tighten the collar in the direction that the shaft turns. You should also be careful to not excessively overtighten the collar with your punch. I knew a John Deere mechanic who would barely tap the collar and then set the set srew. His theory was if the collar moved a little it would just tighten itself.
