spanner axle nut replacement.
« on: August 30, 2010, 07:33:06 am »
i need to replace my 2 spanner axle nuts that hold the hub on? the lock nut was cross threaded on and was a real treat to remove. does anyone know where these can be found? briefly checked ebay but no luck? its the lock nut with the little pin on the side and the lock nut. btw its a 74 k10 if that makes a difference. i am going to clean up the spindle threads also. thanks!

I know autozone carried them behind the counter but they were called spindle lock nut but if you do a search on them at autozpne it comes up with the flat locking nuts
