axel nut

[400exJOE]

the axel nut on my 400 seems to of backed itself off. Instead of being right up against the brake rotor and stuff, there is a 1/2" of threads showing and the nut is to the right. Is it in the right place or should it be to the left against the brakes???

Do you have a stock axle nut?

if you do, then i do beleive that some threads should show.

Yeah it sould not be directly up against the brake rotor it should have some theards showing.

If ya grab the axle nut,,,will it move around,,if so it's loose and needs tightened.

if you have your stock one, chances are, your not going to get it tight again. I've tried many times and i would just spin loose. So i bought a RAD Nut. and i haven't had a problem with it yet. It was only like $50.

beats the heck out of paying $200 for an anti fade nut.

thanks guys. Its the stocker and its tight. I just wasn;t sure if it was in the right place.
