[Spridgets] Rear Axle Hub Nut Question

[Kevin Valentine]

Dave,

Are you sure you are turning it the correct direction?

They tighten in the direction of forward motion of the car, so one  
side is left hand thread and the other is right hand thread.

Passenger side is right hand thread and drivers side is left hand  
thread......
