By Sammy on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 05:56 pm:Is there supposed to be a washer under the rear wheel axle nut, or just the nut and cotter pin? thanks
By Bob on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 07:06 pm:There should be a washer. Part T-2506
By Steve Tomaso on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 08:53 pm:No, there was not a washer under the nut from the factory - just the nut and a cotter pin. Part # 2506 is the fibre washer that goes in between the axle ends inside the differential.
By Adam Doleshal on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 09:47 pm:No washer originally, but it is okay to add one if it helps align your cotter pin to castle nut hole.
By Steve Tomaso on Thursday, July 24, 2008 - 11:28 pm:If you have to use a washer behind the nut to align the cotter pin holes, I would be concerned that the hub or axle taper is worn excessively causing the axle nut to go on too far.
By Ray Elkins on Friday, July 25, 2008 - 07:23 am:Steve, I think what Adam is suggesting is using it as a shim to cause the nut to stop in a different location where the pin can go in without having to tighten excessively or loosen the nut a bit. As you pointed out, if the nut goes on too far then Sammy's got troubles
