alright about a month i changed my stock carrier and bought a twin row.
i got it assembled and when it came time to tighten the axle nut, it went one pretty easily, no real hassle. looked just like it did when i took it off.
well about a week ago, i noticed that the C clip that the axle nut usually covers up is barely showing, i mean you cant see it unless your looking at it from an angle. is this okay? i put electrical tape on the axle nut and the axle nut threads so it would hopefully not move but it still moved just enough to show the clip. it still feels much better and smoother than the stock carrier. so is it alright or what? do i need to tigthen it up again? btw, is there a tool better than a bigass pipe wrench to tigthen the axle nut?
thanks in advance
