Left or righthand thread? I have read accounts which mention both?
Lefty - loosey - righty - tighty or the other way??

cheers

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd share this discovery I made somewhere on the web (it may even have been EMTB!).

You can remove the chain ring nut on the flyon using a normal 12 point 50mm socket.
This one on ebay is the exact fit...
(In fact I would suggest Haibike made it that shape for that reason, and some smart person lured us down a £70 "special tool" route just to make a few £'s!!!)

www.ebay.co.uk

US PRO Tools 3/4" dr 12pt 50mm Socket Ideal for Hub Nut Ford Transit x 1 3451 | eBay


(£10.20 delivered - as of June 2023)

Just taken mine off, dead easy - it was only hand tight so no need for ratchets, 3/4" drives, etc.

As others have said make sure you turn CLOCKWISE to remove the nut (it's a LH thread).
And don't overtighten it putting it back on, mines just a 'good' hand tight fit - anything too heavy handed and you risk stripping the fine threads on the nut.

Hope that helps someone.
