1998 320 4Matic wagon front axle
Does anyone know if the right side front axle nut is left or right hand thread?
I got the left side nut loose but the right side is being very stubborn.

Axle nut has right handed thread!
Thanks duxthe1! I'll keep working it, it has to give up sooner or later!

Under “industrial strength breaker bar”, you can include a normal breaker bar with a 5 foot jack handle over it.

JH Williams 3/4 inch breaker bar is nice for this job, if the nut is still deciding to be nasty - slip a pipe over that breaker.

Lock the wheel with the brake.
Otherwise, the tire will deform when you put a lot of force on the nut. That is not bad for the tyre but it takes a lot of energy to deform a tyre (your energy). It can also help if you support the lower control arm with an axel stand. Be careful with impact drivers, never use them without locking the wheel, the impact can destroy the differential gears. Rob
