the nuts in the middle of the rear wheels the slotted ones on the rear drums are they normal thread or are they reversed depending on which side they are on??? ive also heard that they done up to a really silly torque and are a bitch to remove, is this true???

you'll need a big piece of pipe and someone to apply the brakes while you undo them

Hey Thargor - you can buy a really simple 'tool' for undoing the castle nuts - its basically a lump of metal with a 36mm nut-shaped hole in it which you t&^% with a lump hammer - comes off easily.

No worries about having no brakes if you try and loosen them before you jack her up with someone holding the car the weight of the car should be enough to hold it
