M100 trailer hub nuts

[aktundra]

Hey, the left hand side (driver side), lug nuts on an M100 are reverse threaded. Does anybody know if the locking nut on the M100 axle/hub is also reverse threaded ?

I don’t remember it being reverse threaded when I pulled mine apart 20 years ago. I replaced all of my wheel studs with 1/2” longer ones to accommodate M416 wheels and spacers back then. They are all right hand thread now.
Post up picks of your trailer.

ArmyJeepParts shows only one part number for both sides. Wheel Bearing Lock Nut A866. Makes sense it wouldn’t be left hand thread because it’s a bearing retention nut which isn’t torqued to a high number. That whole wheel assembly would be the same on the military jeep.

Haha. I’m bored today so I looked up the manual; it doesn’t say anything about reverse threading on the retention nut.
