![]() Morning all,
I have spent the last few weekends stripping my donor, I am hoping to get the rear suspension sub-frame off today. I know I should slacken the rear hub nuts whilest the rear sub-frame is still attached to the vehicle in order to get enough purchase. My questions: Are both the hub nuts right-hand threads? If not, I presume one is left-handed and one is right-handed but on which sides are they? Thanks, PS I'm sure this has been covered before, but I had a search of previous threads but could not find the answer. Last edited by eSteve : 28th May 2011 at 07:02 PM. Reason: add PS, change purpose to purchase |

![]() One is left hand and one is right hand.
Right hand usually green inner. Left hand usually white inner. |

![]() Ozzy,
thanks for the quick reply. So they are handed. However, when you say green/white inner what are you actually refering to? The colour of the nyloc material? When I get a good look at them will the colour be apparent? |

![]() Yes the nyloc plastic.
I think the left hand thread is on the left hand side driveshaft. |

It only took 2 tanks of air per side, apart from the nearside which is the reverse thread ( I was doing it up by mistake). |

![]() Thanks for the answers.
So: Near-side (passenger's side) - Left-handed thread (i.e. 'reverse') and white nyloc Off-side (driver's side) - Right-handed thread (i.e. 'normal')and green nyloc Last edited by eSteve : 28th May 2011 at 02:06 PM. Reason: Removed part about socket size. |
