Nuts, do they all go one way?

Hey, simple question. Nuts, removing them, do they all go anti clockwise clockwise, or is it a mixture?.

pretty much everything is anticlockwise to undo. on the morry, the exceptions are the wheel bearing nuts on the left hand side, definetely the front hub, not sure about the rear axle nuts though

Yes - left-hand thread on the rear left-hand axle tube nut too.

and the LH trunnions have a left hand thread too.
That makes 4 LH threaded parts in total that I can think of (not many for a complete car!)

Thanks for all your contributions

. But i seem to have come to a stand still, some bolts keeping body pannels in place have nuts on the end, wich are attached to wires?. Im gueing its something to do with the negative earth system, just want to chek before i start removing anything.

There should only be a few nuts/bolts with wires on them - these will be the earthing points for front and rear lights, an earthing point for the battery (next to battery) an earth for ther engine (from gearbox to gearbox crossmember and another earth on bulkhead for the loom.

The steel shell is used to make part of the wiring circuit - therefore many things earth through the body to complete the circuit back to the battery.

On a positive earth car, the battery is the other way round (i.e. the + and - are the other way to a -ve earth car) but all the circuits will be the same.
