[Healeys] Rear Axle Nut

[PG]

Correct.

 

For the record, the thread on the axel nut is opposite that of the spinner.

Correct the LH nut is a LH thread but note these are octagonal nuts, 8 sides
so a regular socket will not work. That is why so many are so badly
battered!!!

I'm trying to remove an axle nut so as to replace the seals and bearings.



I have a 2 3/8" socket and try as I might, I can't get the nut to turn.  In
fact, I've damaged the but a little trying and I'm worried about rounding
the nut and being really screwed.



I don't understand why it would be so tight or difficult to take off.



Any ideas
