on a lighter note...

Middle 1980's I bought a dana 60 rear end to swap my truck to a higher gear ratio. The steel wheels were still on it so put the impact wrench to work. First lug nuts came right off. Went to the other wheel and no go. Tried a few things, like heat, as they had some outside stored rust on them. Finally, I thought I'd try to tighten them a little to see if that would break them loose. The first one I thought I was tightening came right off.
I forgot that1973 and older chrysler products used right hand threads on the passenger side and left hand threads on the drivers side. :)
The rule was to turn toward the rear to remove whichever side was being worked on.

Also if you looked most had a L or a R on the stud

I also fought that problem once.

I never noticed or looked to see if any studs were marked R or L.
However, any time we took our cars for service, where they would or might remove a wheel, if it was the left hand they invariably would strip one with their 1 inch impact then blame us for a cross threaded lug nut.
Likewise, the 1993 Geo Metro had 10mm lug bolts. I would stand over them when they put a wheel back on because they could easily snap off the bolt. Their 6 point impact socket would catch the corners enough to remove the nuts but could round off the corner putting them back on.

Hi PaulB. Would you be interested in another WJ Jeffery .450/.400 NE 3". It's an extractor model and in superb condition, cased as well. Made in 1908. The rifle is here in Texas.
