Rear Axle Nuts - w/o flange

A very important nut to say the least. This nut holds the rear brake drum on, so be sure to torque the axle nut to 250 ft. lb. We don't want any wheels falling off. We also suggest you drive the car for a day and tighten the nut again, because for some reason, they always seem to loosen up the first time. Always use a cotter pin to lock the nut. If you find the hole doesn't line up, tighten it a little more until it does. Never, ever back the nut off to line up the hole.
