They're not reverse thread, if that's what you mean.
Definitely should just unscrew in the normal way.

Yep, should just unscrew normally. Maybe a bit corroded/rusted depending on age...I know my Juicy 5s have some rust/corrosion around there.

New ones (Olives deffo, might get away with re-using barbs). I'm sure all the info you need is in that youtube link.

New ones advisable although I'm sure someone will come along and say they have re-used them.
