No, I haven't sawn them off, I'm the one hacked off. Most of the afternoon I've been out here to replace these, and I haven't even got ONE off yet!
I think I have the originals on here both sides ... The boots had gone completely so they needed replacing. The bellows were superb and full of 44yo grease even though I have new ones which I'll be putting on.
Needless to say, being the originals the locknuts have not having undone for 44 years I reckon, so they're a bit tight to say the least. Can someone please confirm which way I need to be undoing these things as I've read one side is a left-hand thread.
US car, so LHD. I've read driver's side (so LH side) is left hand thread ... So the locknut would be the same, left hand thread, yes? So clockwise to undo the (US) driver's side?
I've had the mole wrench on these already and they're gonna get rounded off before I do much more.
Any help appreciated ...
