the axle nut on my 400 wouldn't come off either!! mysticfalcon and i had a a huge wescot on it as well as a 10 foot piece of galvanized pipe as a cheeter bar on it and it didn't come off!! we got so fed up that i ended cutting the axle in two!! no more messin' around.

i might want to tell you guys that its back wards threads try getting the wrench on it and hitting it with a dead blow hammer it might come loose. you might heat it up this somtimes works.
later

ps the aftermarket axle nut you refered to is so easy you will know how it works when you get it. i recmend it strongly thast the 1st thing i replaced on my 400ex.

And I thought I had problems..:eek:

we tried heating it and YES we were turning it the right way!! working in a machine shop, we often deal with left hand threads! oh well, it's off now.

After getting completely fed up with my stock axle nut coming loose every couple times I ride the track, I started looking for something better. I haven't heard anything but bad news from the other axle nuts out there, so I tried Meszaros' locknut. I heard it was the best thing since sliced bread. I put it on, and checked it two rides later. It was loose. I tightened it as far as I was comfortable cranking on aluminum again, and rode it a few more times. It was loose. The other day, I tightened it up again, and put some silicone in the threads, and it hasn't come loose yet, and I have put it through he!! and back. I hate using threadlocker when I don't have to because it makes taking stuff apart a pain in the *****.

I say try the Meszaros locknut. You might want to add a couple drops of threadlocker to the threads on the aluminum nut, and tighten up the two locker bolts real good. It should work for you. I just had to figure mine out.

well i ordered the mezaro's the other day....i sure hope it holds up....it better.....the bad thing is if u use threadlocker on it it doesnt have anything to grip to for like a wrench to take it off ....so i dont know what i will do if it comes loose......it hasnt came in yet

I put on a meszaro lock nut awhile back. Seems to be holding up real well. Talked with him on the phone a few minutes, super nice. He also mentioned he has a pretty good supply of used honda parts.
