Use blue locktite. Make sure the axle nut is comepletly clean, no grease, oil, anything on it. It looks dumb but you can also wrap it in duct tape after it is tight. Works good.

Once those stock axle nuts are loosened, they are forever a problem. Your best bet is to get an aftermarkey axle nut.

I had the machinist at work drill a couple of holes in the main and locking nut. I tightened the crap outta them and safety wired them together with some .032 wire. I don't know how it will hold up, but I'll post some results after a while.

Well if the lock tight will got me threw for a while untill I can get a new nut thats what I will have to do! And it comes loose within 20 minutes of really hard ridding so the lock tight better work or I will have to get a new one! (imagine that) but Ill see what I can do!;)
