I've seen a few pictures around here of outer bearing flange bolt/nut/washer setups. I'm curious if most folks run a lock washer under the outer bearing flange nuts. I saw there was a torque spec of I believe 32ftlbs for these nuts and wondered if that would hold true with a lock washer under the nut.

Curiosity has lead me searching this thought out on the good ole WWW. Im finding very low opinions of lockwashers. Seems that anytime you properly torque the nut that the lock will be completely flattened therefore making it a regular washer. There are some folks out there that are very into fasteners.1984 Hustler 980 and some other toys that won't even swim.

Get some nylon locknuts, or some red locktite, or use a jam nut, or any combination of the three!!1983 Hustler 945-HK 627cc Vanguard
