[DeTomaso] Which axles on which side?

[Kirby Schrader]

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

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
