Rear Axle Cotter Pin

Rear Axle Cotter Pin

This pin is a must because it holds the axle nut on. It will not prevent a loose nut from ruining a drum, but it will keep the wheel on the car. We recommend tightening the axle nuts to 250 ft. lb., drive the Bug around the block and retighten the axle nut. Drive the Bug around the block again. If the nut moves when you torque it, drive around the block again. When it no longer moves, install the cotter pin. If the hole doesn't line up, tighten it up to the next hole. Whatever you do, don't loosen the axle nut to make the pin fit. Air wrenches DO NOT let you skip the trip around the block.
