axle nuts
any better ideas than the hookey clips used to lock the axle nut?

Do a search I believe there is a new style lock nut that has a jam plate in between the 2 nut's that you bend the tab over ?

That pin nut setup is interesting.
In my notes I have Dorman 05306 for the double nut with tab system. Replacement keeper is Dorman 618-046. |

PMD60SN D60 NUT KIT HUB TO SPINDLE I have these on my D70 on my truck so i know they work/fit. I prefer them to the bent over tab style as those tabs eventually break off from being bent back and forth repeatedly. |

No problem. It is nice to only have to carry one socket for both diffs.

new style ?? The 2 nuts and bendable tab been around for years the POS nye lock nut and drive in lock is the new style. When I first got my truck I put new nuts and drive in locks I had a brake cable freeze up a few mount later so I had to pull it apart the drive in lock where waded up. I looked a round and found out the old style 2 nut and a lock from the Dana 60 where the same looked at some of the other new style nuts stage 8 and the like but I was short on cash so I just put the good old 2 nuts and a bendable lock type in it. The bendable lock washer should be replaced each time they are taken apart Ken

I used the Stage 8 X-Lock a little pricey but I don't have to worry about them failing.

I'm using the D60 front spindle jam-nut style. I like it.

Stage 8 is about $60 a wheel. That costs more than my wheel[laugh]

The pin style jam nuts are cheaper, but the stage 8 gives you the correct bearing lash/feel on install, instead of having to guess slightly loose so it's right after a jam nut. |
