Rob,

The trouble is there are a lot of people who think the Left (or Right) of a vehicle, is from standing facing it and not from looking forward from the driving position. This is where some of the problems come from. The vehicle in question might have had two people of different minds working on it, hence why the front hub was correct.

I know of someone, with a large British APC, who sheared all the wheel nuts on one side, because he was not aware they were Left handed thread

If in doubt with a wheel stud and there is some of the stud protruding through the nut, it is easy to spot the difference between left and right, from the angle of the thread. As this is my trade, it is easy to say this I suppose, but a little caution saves a heap of problems later on

Richard
