How bad is the nut F'd up? Any chance you could fix the threads on the axleshaft with a thread file and then use the old nut? I'd help out but I have a 2500Total Distorsion said:
Ok I got it all buttoned up. I went to the stealership and got a new nut.$22.09 plus tax! Oh well. I got my file out and went to work on the stub shaft and we're good to go now. While I was at it I tighted up the other side, and wow what difference tight wheel bearings make. Kinda rides like a Cadillac. :grinpimp:
