Wondering if anyone knows if the locking nut by the rear sprocket on the axle is reverse thread or not. I don't want to break it and I can't find much info at all. The last time I asked a dealership about a nut being reverse threaded or not. I got the wrong answer and a stripped front sprocket nut was the result so i dont trust them. i know that a Yamaha blaster does NOT have reverse thread on the lock nut, and I'm pretty sure the banshee is the same way. I tried PB blaster and heat. It doesnt even budge. i'm about to put my big boy pants on and give it hell with a pipe wrench but I don't want to force it the wrong way and strip it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Standard threads, same axle as the banshee except the banshee has a little more threads to put larger nuts.

Thanks brother. I thought so but I needed confirmation. I didn't want to crank on it in the wrong direction.
