Is ring gear bolt right-hand one or left-hand one?

I watched youtube, some one claimed the GM ring bolt is left-hand, and some claimed right-hand, so confused.

it really is a fairly easy procedure providing you do have mechanical knowledge and the tools to do such. i.e. bearing press, dial indicator and a couple other tools.

ive done mine and wrote a how too on here, as well as tried to help a forum member via text.

the problem both times involved the bearing kits not being a match. for my truck (eventhough i used the vin/codes to get the right kit) i guess they sent the smaller axle kit when i needed the larger and for the members truck they sent him the larger axle kit when he needed the smaller kit.

i would also plan for your truck to be down 2-3 days depending on your skill set/tools available.
