Do all LT wheel nuts lock on clockwise? EG: you have to turn them anti-clockwise to get them off?
The LT Owners Manual says turn anti-clockwise to remove, but mine seem very stubborn and now I'm starting to wonder if some models have wheel nuts that lock on in a different direction. This is a 1983 LT40 chassis cab now horsebox. Anyone know?

They are all the same as far as I know but they are torqued to 150lbs, so with rust can be stubborn to get started. I use a 4ft scaffold pole if no wheel gun available.

I needed to cut mine off the first time I had to remove the wheels, but as Andy says, they are on tight.

Wow - I ended up having to be towed to a garage with an air compressor! The breakdown guy broke his tools trying to get them off. Some idiot has painted over them in the past!
