Default Hub nuts Sapphire Cosworth

Am I right in thinking that the Front Passenger side is also Left Hand thread, the same as the rear??

30mm nut, it wont budge and I dont have a 30 mm impact socket (yet)

Thanks

Hi if its 2wd mine are about 41mm have a look at the thread you should be able to tell which way they come off.

As said just have a real close look at the tail of the thread, if the tail thins as it goes counter clockwise it's a std right hand thread, if it thins as it goes clockwise it's a left hand thread.

You need a powerfull impact driver I would say, mines 500Nm couple of clicks and she was off

Job done.....It's a normal thread (anti-clockwise to undo)

I done it with an impact gun and a 32mm impact socket, not bothered about the hub nut as I've binned it and will be buying new.....
