Take it to your local garage witha decent air gun and chuck 'em a fiver for their trouble!
sorry if you've heard me say it before but mine needed 650lbs/ft to get it off! 
Good Luck!

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Urgh! Not gold 
Yes, one side is LH and the other RH thread. Good job really, otherwise they'd undo as you went along!

You don't need them off if you've got drums- discs do though.
Saying that though you could leave them on even with discs- you've just got to cut off the Sierra upright from around the hub. To fit it to your
Indy upright you've then got to cut it (the upright) in half and re-weld it together around the hub. Perhaps not the best method!!!

Have a feeling someone said that it's only the newer ones with LH/RH thread??? Or have I invented that?
Ned's is 'D' reg so would it apply?
Whatever! He'll soon find out!

Nope, all nearside hubnuts are left hand thread, all offside hubnuts are right hand thread, regardless.

Ooooops
Someone will be in for a bit of a shock on the motorway. As Chris said, the NS hub nut would be able to undo itself as the wheel rotates

Only if they tear the splines off. Also, if you think about it, braking would apply a force in the opposite direction which would be similar to that
of accelerating.

Well if that makes you jealous, you probably won't want to know that I have just acquired a Sierra Cosworth 4x4 for nothing - It's
missing an engine and transmission, but that won't affect me as I'm using a crash repairable bike for that - and apparently these go for a
bit less over here too.
Sorry bout that but I'm feeling quite pleased with myself at the moment - I am a bit worried about the size of those discs though.
