I had Tight NUTS until I got one of these!

Yup... Sierra Rear Hub Nuts can be a real pain to undo... But with this, and a 9ft pole, it came undone with ease. Mind you the Socket set bar complained a bit


Are your Nuts Too Tight?

Carefully inspect that tiny bit of thread protruding from the nut, you can see which hand it is, and act acordingly.

Also make sure you put them on the right sides, when you build the car, as they could Both come undone if you dont!.
