Not seen any responses to this. The half-shafts have a standard right-hand
thread (hence the cotterpin) but they can be very tight. I had to drive my
roadster to a workshop for them to put a 5-foot bar on the LHS before it
would shift. Subsequently bought a used axle and wondered how I was going
to get on with it off the car, and both sides came free sweet as a, well,
nut.
