Hi Wayne,

Yes, the 'travelling front', as opposed to 'firing front'. I got those terms from my manual! My axle set is with the No. 19 wheels on both sides. Possibly had a No. 14 on left side once, but this has been converted to right-hand sided No. 19 wheel before I got it. IE: Both sides are marked R on all studs and wheel nuts, regardless of side. See attached text image copied from my handbook.

It confuses me at times. Some of it is like listening to Charlie Brown's teacher.....wamp, wamp, wamp. I hope I haven't misunderstood what was written, but end result is same, all bolts are right hand threads.

I got one of the hubs on this afternoon. Lots of lovely grease everywhere, including all over me. The other hub isn't ready to attach yet, because the brake linings bind against the drum somewhere. Difficult to turn until I get some clearance. If I try to turn the hub, I'm sure the entire axle assembly will fall off my jack stands instead. Can't set hub nut pressure if I can't turn the wheel.

I am on the lookout for 3 right-hand sided wheel nuts. Some of mine were missing. If anyone has some for sale, I'll buy em.
