So know we get to the hubs and wheels. We want to put new rubber on so I'm trying to get the lug nuts off. I'm on there with the lug wrench and I can't break them loose. I get a cheater and I still can't get them off. Righty tighty lefty loosey right. Wrong the right side of the trailer has left hand threaded nuts and the left hand side has right hand threaded nuts. The hubs where scavenged off of some type of car. Never heard of anything like that before. Thoughts The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

You just have to remember when it it time to pull a tire what you have. Kind of a pain in the butt. Providing wild fur to the industry at below the cost of production for over 50 years. Mostly carbon neutral since 1948.

Only way I could remember was to tighten the wrench turned toward the rear and to loostened toward the front. I could have that backward. We used to have flat tires in the those days plus my dad bought recaps.
