GeneralDipDIp Posted July 19 Report Posted July 19 (edited) After replacing front passenger wheel bearings, races, and rotor i was tightening the spindle nut to 100 ft/lbs and the two teeth on the "special washer" in the diagram below snapped off. Now I can't back off the spindle nut as it continues to spin and I am in need of a new special washer. I can't seem to find a new one online so far. Help would be appreciated on how to get the spindle nut off now as well. Edited July 19 by GeneralDipDIp Quote
Stinky Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 That is gonna be a tough one. It has been awhile, so....I assume that you've solved this. You might be able to use a hammer and chisel and tap the nut in a circle. You say that it continues to spin....could it have stripped? If it has stripped....man do you have problems. I hate to mention it...but, you might have to mangle the hub to get this off. A Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel might me helpful. If you can't get it online...then a junkyard. They'd have your hub. How have you come out? Quote
