If you've ever had to fight the awful bending lock washers on the trail or even in the driveway you know what a crappy design it is. I've fabbed up these kits to replace those lock washers once and for all. This is the same basic design as Dana and Warn use for the tried and true Dana axle spindles. The washers are 13 ga lazer cut using the same ID and OD dimensions of the original thin metal washers. The inner nut is jigged and drilled then a hardened pin is pressed in. Installation is easy and repeatable hundreds of times. The inner nut is installed, pin out, and tightened against the washer/bearing to pre-load spec then slightly backed off. The lock washer is installed to align with the pin. If it is alignment is slightly off you simply loosen the inner nut until the pin/hole meets. Install the outer nut, torque to spec and you're done. No prying, peening, hammering out and old washers ever again. The kit comes with 4 inner pinned nuts and 4 lock washers. You reuse your inner nut as the outside nut (it usually isn't scarred from chisels or screwdrivers). The first time you install these you'll wonder why Land Rover never thought of this!
