Hi
I am doing a diy replacement of the cv joint on the Drive shaft and have noticed that instead of the usual nut and cotter pin there is a wierd type of steel nut with flange and the flange is notched into a groove in the spindle thread.
My question is, what size nut is it and how do I remove it? I have tried levering the notch up with a hammer and screwdriver but it is solid. maybe its a cover over a nut underneath? is so how can I remove the cover?
Thanks 10 points best answer
