I am attempting to adjust my TF flex arms, but can't get the jam nut to budge. Can someone tell me if it is reverse threaded. I have tried everything to get it to budge but wanted to check the thread direction before I pound on it anymore. Hopefully that is the correct term. I am talking about the nut on the arm, not the one connecting it to the mount.

Thanks

 

Have you tried a long breaker bar yet? I'm always amazed with what I can break loose with one of those. It's a bit awkward under there, but give it a shot, shouldn't need to pound on it. Also, try some PB Blaster or other penetrating lubricant, let it soak in for awhile, overnight if possible.

 

A hammer, a breaker bar. I'm afraid to try much more unless I can determine thread direction

Mine are right handed threads.

 

Normally threaded. Hit it up with some WD-40 or such and let it soak in a while (couple hours). What are you using to turn it? I got an 18" Sears Craftsman BAW (Big-Assed Wrench).

 

Big ass pipe wrench, get underneath and bench press that mofo. Note: on pass side make sure and stick a few rags, pillow or something around that upper CA mount, when it breaks free your hands on target for it busted knuckles/fingers

 

Used the biggest cresent wrench I had and a 3 ton floor jack under the wrench. Thanks for all the replies
