Rear hub nuts

[ozzy1]

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?

[ozzy1]

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).

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

Another tip,sometimes there are notches on the left hand one as its not always possible to see the colour of the nyloc.
