I understand that my 41 wc9 can wear dauls. Thats not much different. But before i start the tear down for new wheel cylinders and pads. The studs are clearly marked L and R? I assume left and right? The driver side front is marked R. The driver side rear is marked L. The passenger side is reversed. Whats the deal here? I checked TM 10-1123/1443 and couldnt find anything. Any help i would be greatfully appreciate. Thank you.

G,Day mate . 2 Left,s on Lhs , and 2 rights on Rhs . Some one previously has got them mixed up . Ray

Hi Wardog,
what Ray is trying to say is Left hand threads on the drivers side (Left side) and right hand threads on the passenger side (Right side) as Ray suggests "someone" has mixed up the hubs at some stage.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didnt know the hubs could be switched around. Thats cool, thank you.

I had a similar issue; my passenger side rear had left hand threads, all the others were right hand.. I chose to change them to right hand. It was a simple matter of driving the studs out of the hub. Whoever played musical hubs with my truck must have done it long ago, the hubs still had leather seals!

Thats crazy mine to. I was wondering what was up. Im getting ready to pull rear hubs and i have no clue on the steps.

Best part with the hubs is, they are supposed to be balanced to and with the drums, and marked to allow proper realignment after disassembly...
