Rear wheel nut threads, clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Post by **tanto** » Mon Mar 14, 2011 11:31 am

Can't find this in the Heinz manual , & a search of 400GB didn't help - "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: thread wheel rear".

Before applying undue force in an attempt to remove the rear wheel, can someone tell me whether the LHD or RHD rear wheel nut threads are reverse cut?

In other words, can both the RHD & LHD wheel nuts be removed by unscrewing anti-clockwise?

I'd expect the LHD thread to be "reverse cut", so it unscrews in a clockwise direction. That way, it won't undo as the wheel rotates...

But I'm not sure! Thanks.

Lefty loosy righty tighty. Hope this helps. Also not sure what you are on but there is only one nut that keeps the rear on! The actual wheel is mounted on spigots to the hub and there is a shim behind the nut don't lose it.

He'll be meaning the hub nut, as opposed to the wheel nut
