do you have to loosen the inside nut (locking nut ) first or do you just loosen the outside nut and then the inside nut.

If this is the first time you've had it off it will probably be VERY difficult. Mine was on my Raptor. I finally had to

1- put it in gear
2- strap down the rear brake
3- remove any set screws from the nut
4- heat the nut with a blowtorch
5- use a big wrench or crescent wrench with a piece of 2 foot long pipe slipped over the end of it to give you more leverage

take off the outside one first, then the inside one should come off easily. When putting it back together be sure to torque them as directed in the service manual.

Good Luck
