cossie rear stub axle
 
Hello people,

i need a little help.
The old owner of my car was absolute monster with my car.I keep fix different parts for my car.
Now my problem is that i am not sure which side is the tightening clocwise nut/stub axle and which the tightening anticlockwise nut/stub axle.
Right and left.Please do not say drivers side and passenger as the driver side is left here.

Left side as you are looking from the rear of the car is Anticlockwise tighten i.e. a left handed thread.

Green Nyloc insert on Nut = Right hand thread
White Nyloc insert on Nut = Left hand thread

fantastic my friend,
my mechanic tried to unbolt it but the nut turns free.Is it possible to need only a nut?

If the nut is just spinning it's probably knackered the thread on the stub axle as it's quite a fine thread and easily done with an air gun if run the wrong way.
