Default Wheel hub question.
I think I bent one of my wheel hubs. I'd like to get a confirmation that they have right hand threads.{turn nut counter-clockwise for removal} I am pretty sure they are right handed but it is tough to get the nuts off and I want to be sure I am turning them the right way.

If they haven't been off recently ,usually require a rattle gun or 6ft of water pipe on a breaker bar ( with tire on the ground ) to crack them loose.

I heated the nuts up a little and used my air impact. They came off easier than I had read. Thanks guys, Tom
