ive recently put my rear hubs on and i dont have a clockwise thread on eitherside :S
jesus that was quick
The reverse nut also has a notch cut into it for id,
striped my hubs down ages ago and almost forgot which carrier went with which hub lol.
now i just have the joy of doing them up to 280nm. oh what fun that will be
With a long enough lever anything is possible.
We had a 1.5 metre long torque wrench at the dealers for type 3 rear hubs, which if i recall was something along the lines of 280Nm.
I'm in the same boat as I'm just popping my hubs and axles on after recon.
The front Drivers side hub is a reversed / left handed thread (marked by notches)
The rear Passenger side axle uses a reversed / left handed thread (marked by notches)
So the left handed-ness is diagonal.
are you sure. i recall the reverse threads both being on the same side when i took the sierra appart.
Sierra manual - Fronts
" Note that on all models manufactured before late December 1982 both laft and right (front hub) nuts have a right-hand thread but from this date
left hand-thread assemblies were progressively fitted to the right-hand hub carrier. "
Rears
"The left-hand nut has a left-hand thread
"Left and right are in the sense of a person seated in the diriving position facing forwards "
