You can usually tell which way the last guy tightened it by looking at the punch mark.
If you guys mean, if the shaft rotates clockwise, to tighten the collar clockwise, then I don't do it that way. I tighten against the rotation (if shaft turns clockwise, I tighten counterclockwise) so the rotation of the shaft is not trying to loosen the bearing.
