[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 690290, member: 3432"] As much gayness as my old D44 went through, those nut-tits were broke off/wore off. I just set the preload as guddentight on the first nut then tightened the **** outta the second nut. I never had one come off or finger loose.....but had a couple axle replacements where it reeeeeaaally didn't take that much effort to loosen that lock nut. This was on my Cherokee that I drove to/from the trails at the time. I want to say it was about a year or 2 ago I was helping someone fix a broken axle on the trail and I noticed once the slug was out he had only 1 spindle nut and used welding wire wrapped all around the remaining threads and twisted together. Obviously to me, it was a conversation starter and he said, "Been like that for years.....couldn't find the other nut last time had it out so figured that might hold it....forgot all about it." Granted this was on a 1000$ Cherokee....sooooo.....take that FWIW. [/QUOTE]
