I'm just replacing the rear uprights and lower arms on my SPF GT40 Mk1 (2140) to repair some accident damage dating from before I bought the car. The next part of the swapover is to remove the driveshafts from the upright which requires undoing the 36mm bolt visible deep inside the spinner thread. My question is are these handed in the same way as the spinners themselves are? I have the driver's side (RHD car) corner on my bench just waiting for me to apply suitable force, I just want to be sure before giving it "full welly". Any steer would be appreciated.

140-160 lb/ft with a drop of threadlock compound. It does not hold the bearings in compression so the spec is not critical.

I put a red paint line on mine just so I could visually check to see if they had loosened.
