Front Hub Replacement question

mad4j · Feb 15, 2014

Hi, is the 32mm hub nut a normal right handed thread?

I started to do mine earlier this evening but ran out of time, however at the time I was struggling to get the nut off so will try again tomorrow and maybe use a little heat on it.

Thanks,

Jamie..

Can't remember if there is lh thread on one side, but I can remember they are done up really tight.

Cheers Lookskyward1, I have read it but just wondered if it was left or right handed thread, as it's not mentioned I'm guessing it's right..

Pretty sure they are normal thread and tight as a nuns aunt!! I found it easier to slacken it a little before jacking up and taking the wheel off, a 32mm deepish socket did the job for me :thumbleft:

Cheers Sheepy.. Back out tomorrow for another bash at it..

Yep worked for me too, also broke a Halfords socket bar(which was replaced FOC) trying to loosen mine, forgot to mention I was hanging of a pipe I hand on it at the time :awesomework

Put a big bar on the wheel nuts and then go anti clock wise with a big ratchet extension and put all your strength into it.

It will crack

Good luck

Mine was the same, broke a ratchet and an extension bar, in the end had to go to a mates with an air gun, best and most stress free way!

They are standard r/h thread, air gun does it quickest.

Has anyone got a preferred supplier of these front hubs,there seems that many and the prices seem to vary a lot,i have seen good reports by members even on the not so expensive ones,is it just the better make bearings or is there more to it? Mick.

Thanks for all of the replies, I went back out yesterday morning and put the biggest bar I could find on to it and she came undone..

Great Tip Sheepy, about loosening slightly before jacking Truck up.

Feels and sounds so much better now..

Another money saving job that I probably wouldn't have attempted if it weren't for this great site :clappy:
