rear axle wheel nut

[hondaking52]

i'm sure you all know tht it seems tht every time you take ur atv out the rear wheel nut is loose again,or atleast on mine anyways...lol, my question is could i replace the castle nut with a nylock nut so it wont keep working itself loose?

thanks

do you have cotter pins in the castle nut? that is what keeps it from turning...

[hondaking52]

ya, but they still back off a wee bit and it allows them to wobble a bit...

i guess locktite it is then. i would use the red, automotive strength, the strongest.

ya i guess....is there anything wrong with just using a loc-nut?

I have the same problem! Did on my old 300ex too.

Loctite usually does the trick though every once in a while it'll work its way loose but not very often. Just do that and check em before/after every ride to make sure they stayed good.

You could always cross-thread it.

Use the blue loctite, red means you wont ever get it off!

[chayes627]

if you have the 2' power bar you wont have any problem getting it off with the red. id rather have a hard tie getting it off anyway than have it come loose while riding and hurt yourself.
