Good thought, Vince, but B axle nuts are both right-hand threaded. Andy, if
you really care not about the axle or nut, you could take a drill and make
a hole through the nut, parallel with the threads, using one of the
castellation indents as a starting point. This would effectively split the
nut so that it should be able to be removed from the axle.
