Does anyone know if the Axel nut on a 2002 scrambler happens to be reverse threads? cuz im trying to change the carrier bearings. I took off the snap ring and then that piece that slides off the nut, and the foam seal. Now, i have to get the "Sprocket Hub Nut" i think its called off. i cannot get it off. i wasnt sure if it was reverse threads for some reason. i looked at them and they look normal.

 

im pretty sure once that nut is off, the axel will just slide out from the left side.

 

anyone happen to know before i just get the biggest adjustable ive got, put a 4 foot pipe on it and just give it hell? i dont see why it wouldnt be regular threads but you never know. thanks.

 

Best thing I have found to do is cut the nut off and replace it.

 

that nut is fine thread and gets rusted on there very quick. i heated mine up to get it off and i still hade to use a big wrench when i reinstalled it i put antisieze on it i hope that helps for next time.....it is regular right hand thread just takes losts of torque to get off
