Seven year old thread but I would like to know if it is a left hand thread on the 1 1/4 nut on top of the spindle pulley? Also Im having trouble holding the spindle tight while I attempt to loosen the bolt. Any suggestions? Im thinking an impact wrench might be the answer. Thanks if anyone is still around on this thread.




FWIW and almost without fail, a nut or bolt loosens in the same
direction that the wheel/arbor normally spins when under operation.
