For the sake of argument, the knock offs on my GT40 are right hand threads on the left side, left hand on the right side. My rule of thumb is to whack the top of the knockoff to the front of the car to get them off. FWIW Kirby

Of course, there's a 50/50 chance that I'm completely full of "it"!

Hi guys,
I thought I would lead off with he first technical question on the new forum.
The rear axles are marked S and D, for 'left' and 'right' respectively. But that speaks to the thread direction (one of them is reverse thread, left to tighten)
It's my belief that the S or left-tighten axle goes on the left side of the car but I can't remember for sure. Can somebody confirm or deny?
Thanks!
And welcome back!
Mike
