How do I remove axle lock nuts...400EX???

[kilabeez0]

I've done it on my 3 wheelers before but they were a little different. My shop manual says they have reverse threads? I broke the disc hub arms so I have plenty of room to get a pipe wrench on the inner nut and one on the larger outer. My question is, which way am I supposed to turn the inner nut first? I thought clockwise to turn it towards the brake disc, but I have no clue. Can someone please help me.

BTW the disc hub was already broken that's what i'm replacing. And is using pipe wrenches ok if i dont have the proper tools? If not where can I get them asap. Thanks.

If your standing behind the quad you need to go down with the wrench.

Step one get the shot gun:D




Step two order a aftermarket and sweep the old peices away

i'll definitely buy myself a new one after hearing everyone say it's worth it. So anyway, I turn the inner nut towards the back, or the wrench down if I'm standing in the back? And then I do the same to the larger nut and remove the snap ring?

Yes, you are correct.
