It would be interesting to see a pick of your cv DJH for the above reason..

Hi Everyone, I'll Take A Picture At The Weekend For You. It Definatly Is Left Handed, As Said Before, I Tore My Bicep Trying To Undo It The Conventional Way.... This Is What I Don't Get, Obviously It Must Be Dangerous Because Of The Rotation Direction And Inertia Of The Wheel At High Speed Would Loosen It Off! Hence Why I'm Not Doing Trackdays Currently.

Rattle gun, never fails especialy when you set it to 500lbft to undo the nut.

Left hand CV threads, Eh, think not!!

Not even the original 850 cv's were left handed. You must have an ubber special one. Id be tempted to remove it, mount it on a chunk of mahogany and sell it on Ebay as an Issigonis mistake

3/4 drive and a big fat breaker bar of the matching size

Mate, Be carefull with a 3/4 drive Breaker Bar.

I snaped a 1/2 Snap-on breaker bar at work a few months ago trying to undo a set of seized wheel nuts on a transit.

3/4 is bigger than 1/2 isn't it

[*DJH*]
