Thanks

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Hy Charley, those large "nuts" are called the differential bearing adjusting nuts, be sure to check the threads in the housing and caps, if those threads are stripped then you must replace the housing/cap assembly, as they are machined as a unit, hope that helps
