Have fun, either way

That's what I plan to do which is why I cross referenced the part number that freight train gave me to a Dorman part which is 2 nuts and a bendable locking washer.

Dorman Products - 05306

They should be here Wednesday from Amazon.

Sometimes during disassembly, the washer tab that's bent over snaps off, so that's why I keep a bunch in stock. Bought the kit back in september of 2012, had the truck apart 5-6 times since then, and reused only one extra tabbed washer. Much less expensive in the long run, and a more confident setup. You'll be much happier with it than that nylock nut and wedge junk that the OEM was.

I think I paid $.99 each

I also keep the axle gaskets in stock as well. Rock auto might be cheaper though
