l/h front wheel bearing retaining nut

Post by jaypeterson »

Just wanted to remove wheel bearing castellated nut on l/h front. it is v.diffult to budge.Just want to check which way thread it is, before more bashing. Is it normal right hand thread, (loosen to left.) ? Im a bit confused that Morriss parts suppliers list both r/h and l/h threaded nuts, but no mention of that in Haynes manual.
please help.

The LH side has a LH thread which works the opposite way to normal. Therefore you need to turn it to the right (clockwise) to undo it.

The factory workshop manual is much better than the Haynes one :wink:
