cavebull, I may be wrong here but this is just a thought. For the most part when I take off a castle nut there is rarely a flat washer or even a lock washer on the stud/bolts.
Is it because the factory seen no use in putting a washer of any kind on because of using the castle nut??...or over the years many folks left them off so I could guess what to do?!

What have others experienced ....or have to say...opinions?

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
