Stupid Question

Trying to reverse the bolt on the suspention linkage on a K7 GSXR600.

As we all know to undo a bolt you turn anti clockwise, so what way does the nut on the end turn.

(has to be reversed so it doesnt rub on new exhaust)

Really not quite sure what you mean mate, but the nut will screw on the same way regardless of which way up you have it. Right for tight, left for loosen.

The opposite direction if on the same thread.

Thumbs Up

If the nut is facing away from you (so the bolt head is towards you) then it would be clockwise.

If you're the other side, so the bolt head is facing away from you and the nut is towards you, it'd be anti-clockwise.

If you can't figure that out maybe you shouldn't remove any big bolts from your suspension area.

I'm guessing it's someone else's bike - which makes it even more concerning that they've asked for help from someone who has to ask that question on here! Smile

Anti clockwise.

Why not just hold the other end still with a spanner then undo the end you can see?
