Reverse thread on drivers side hub
Hello everyone,
Repacked the wheel bearings on my Triple e today and wanted to give a heads up. Maybe they are all like this , maybe not. On the drivers side wheel, I tried to loosen the bolts holding the wheel on. Using the old anology of lefty loosey/righty tighty, the bolts failed to loosen. So after some contemplating I tried loosening the bolts to the right, and lo and behold..off they came.
So now I'm thinking, ok, the other side will be the same, things will flow smoothly. Nope. The other side, the bolts were normal and to loosen they turned to the left.
So just a heads up when removing the trailer wheel bolts, the one side on my trailer was reversed thread. Not sure if all the Triple e's are like this, but mine sure is.
Thought I would share this,
Ed
