Posted by: Coyotechaser

My old Willys had some left turning lug nuts. It's amazing how hard that can be to remember whenever I was changing the tires.

i broke 2 spanner wrenches and some visegrips trying to take the ring nuts off my axles so i could take the bearing out,what should i do now i'm all out of money and don't wanna ruin all my tools...any ideas?

i sure can't wait to buy another spanner wrench and get those axles out..

I also agree it's funnyespecially when i think back and see myself pulling on that wrench soooo hard that my face is red and the ring nuts are still not budging,but the way i look at it i learned the hard way but i'll never forget that atv axles are left hand thread after this experience,so tommorow when i go out to my shed i imagine i'll get another chuckle outta the pile of broken wrenches on my bench,if it weren't for these atc forums i think i would have broke many more wrenches trying to get those suckers off...lol
