Talking rear axle nuts

Take center cap off rear wheels you will see a 33mm nut , tighten to 118 foot lbs. mine were loose. I used a piece of string on a corner of center cap and pulled it off holding it with a rag.

Mine were loose. Hate to have this happen...........





I read that drag racers are double nutting them to keep them tight. Seem to back off regularly if your pushing it.

Thanks again for the heads up Q!
