I'm pretty sure the pinion nut comes off in normal direction. But after cranking on it with a pry bar for an hour I want to make sure they are not reverse threads?

Can someone confirm before I break out the impact wrench?

Thanks
 
I just broke one loose to sell the guts from my 7.25 after my 8.75 swap.
Leftie loosie righty tighty. Mine was *****-tight.
 
I've got a beat up old 3/4 impact I use for that kind 'o stuff. If you look in the manual, they show a great big "special wrench" which you can make, it's just a big rectangle that fits around the outside of the yoke. Then you can use a BIG *** breaker bar on the nut. Yup. Turn CCW to remove.
