Default Removing LH brake disc rotor. 94 WRX

Need to change the lh rear disc brake rotor on a 94 GC 8 WRX.
Which thread is the big nut on the end of the drive shaft that i need to remove to get the rotor off .
Normal ( ie turn to the left to un do ) or left hand thread ( ie turn to the right to un do )

Cheers

lefty loosy... righty tighty.

But you dont need to remove that big ass nut to change a brake rotor.

Unbolt the caliper and either belt the back of the disc with a rubber mallet ( like I did ). Or insert two bolts into the empty threads either side of the center of the brake rotor and screw them in to push the rotor from the hub.

^^^^ Ditto.

Don't touch the said "big nut" it has nothing to do with the rotor.
