  • Stake nut woes

    :?: So I'm piecing back to gether front hub assemblies for my Aspire brake upgrade and I got to the stake nut. Now it's kinda weird cause when I tighten it down onto the axle end the nut screws past or below the stake groove leaving no place to stake the nut. My question is...do I need some kind of spacer or washer to keep that nut up around that groove? And I don't have a torque wrench, so how do I know how much to tighten it down :?:

    When I put mine back on I just guessed at the torque.

    I remember there being a washer under the nut.
    OX SMASH!!

        front stake nuts

        For staking the front nuts, I found that a 2' bolt cutter tool works perfectly; put one tip in the dimple in the center of the axle, the other on the stake nut, and gently squeeze a little.

        This doesn't work on the thinner rear stake nuts.
