Yes, as Brad said the LH rear hub nut is LH thread, the only one on the whole car.
And, it's not marked as such....

I take it you mean the castleated nut. remove the split pin and the retainer then have a quick look at the thread. They should be right hand therad (normal) and anti-clockwise is off. chect this as I am not sure of this is for absolutley all models you will need a big snap bar to get them off as their meant to be torqued pretty tight. this mean's that you will need to tighten them up as per workshop manual as well. |

I learnt it as "time goes on" as in clockwise for on, I was thinking about driveshafts and forgot the rear. I always forget that one. it's sneaky and not marked LH or anything |
