The large hub bolt is in fact a large nut and depending on which side of the car it is on could be either left hand or right hand thread

both sides tighten up to the front so slacken off towards the rear.

Que?
So if the spanner is below the nut, or horizontal....?
You can't turn something 'to the left/right/front/rear', only clockwise or counter clockwise.
