Default Axle nut

Ok so, this is a probably a very dumb question, but is the passenger side axle nut reverse threaded? It looks to be normal left hand thing, I already snapped one 1/2" braker bar on it, so I'd like to eliminate my ignorance before i brake another one

I did read older posts but no mention of thread type...

Nvm just had to go with 3/4" bar and 32mm socket...

I haven’t done one on the D2 yet, but on a Dakota I had, I broke 2or 3 sockets trying to remove the axle nut. They’re really tight. Your 3/4” bar and an impact socket should work.

I bent a cheater bar and snapped a breaker bar trying to get it off. Try and pry out the push tabs, and spray with PB-Blaster/WD-40m. I had luck trying to tighten it a bit to break it loose then turn it left.

For real...as if those nuts were actually holding something that's about to fly off
