Move the lever on the ratchet to the right to set it to loosen.

Use the 1/4 inch ratchet with an 8mm socket to remove the nuts by repeatedly rotating counterclockwise.

Although it’s common to associate left with loosening and right with tightening, keep in mind that when the ratchet is upside down, the lever may appear to point left—but the standard rules still apply.

Other ratchets may differ and be reversed (left to loosen, right to tighten).
