Being a bit dumb...

...as usual...

Which respective sides do the rear hubs go on - one hub nut is left hand thread & the other right hand. I need to make sure I put them back on the correct sides before I get them fully tightened up

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Left hand thread should be on the passenger side I believe, tightening in the same direction as wheel rotation. Some cars have 2 right hand hubs though so it's probably not too important with this type of hub.

Can you get his wrong? Surely the nuts will only fit on the correct hubs.

Yes, if you have taken both drive shafts off and don't know which one fits on which side...

Thanks Rob - I have actually put them on that way round - I just thought that these things are better to check first before proceeding with the tightening up

Ah, I see the problem. Thanks.
