HI all,

I wondered if anyone knows the best method for removing rear hubs on a three door as I am restoring mine and I what to replace disc backing plates and bearings?
I have heard that one nut is threaded oppositly to the other?

Thanks for your help. T

remove brakes
find steel wheel/tyre
bolt it on
put the car back on the deck
chock the wheels
undo hubnut
remove wheel
remove hubnut fully
you may require a small puller to remove the hub flange

What he said, I'm aware some are l/h thread so always check by looking at the tail of the thread, if it tails/ends to the left it is a right hand thread, if it tails to the right it is l/h thread.

The rear passenger side hub nut is L/H thread (turn clockwise to undo) and it's also 41mm I believe....

correct

also, if you need to hold the hub steady while fiddling with the nut when it's loose, put a disc on (vented) and slot a screwdriver into the vanes until it jams up against something, this way you've got constant pressue rather than needing to hold something in place to sotp the hub from rotating
