Thats what happened to my tapered bearing - failed inside seal and boom, nut Really loose.
I don't have the cotter pin in mine cause the covers are gone.


I don't understand... why not? because they look tacky? Those cotter pins might save your ass someday IMO. I don't run centercaps, needless cosmetic crap!


I just lost them
Many moons ago at a track event when one of the bearings was going (It was either the OEM or the set before the tapered) and I had to make one run. I pulled the covers off, tightened the crap out of the axle nuts and promptly lost the covers. Ran my one run and drove it the 40 miles home and replaced both bearings. Can't find the things anywhere
