S3 front hub nuts - undoing

harvestmouse · Aug 28, 2008

Hello again

Just a quick question before i plod on (as soon as 52mm box spanner has arrived).....

To undo the hub nuts, do i turn them the 'wrong' way, i.e. clockwise?

Thanks in advance

ps... a) i did search for an answer to this in advance
b) yes i know they are effing tight.

they're a normal right hand thread (ie anti-clockwise to undo).
they're not that tight - should be 65Nm.

they both shouldnt be at all tight or they'll end up binding the bearing

Both side are right hand thread, so to undo them turn anti clock wise, make sure you strighten the lock washer first..

Thank you both for your advice. All sorted now.

Problem was the lock washer which wasn't 100% straight; amazing how a small protrusion can prevent a nut from turning, but I suppose that's the point of a lock washer eh?

All the best
