Question Rear hub nuts

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.

One is left hand and one is right hand.
Right hand usually green inner.
Left hand usually white inner.

Question Thanks...

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.

I took mine off by using a windy gun, whilst off the car.

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).

Post Thanks...

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
