Where are these "other guys" that understood? -- Cheers, John B. |

If pulling a wrench handle moves the attachment point, perhaps you're applying force parallel to the slot? If so, can you apply the wrench with the handle parallel to the slot, and apply force to the handle perpendicular to the slot? Assuming the width of the slot is close to the axle thickness, things shouldn't move much in that direction. Interesting. So if the handle is put X-ways before the pull, and then moved into Y-ways, that should minimize movement along the slot... Alternately, there are wrenches with T handles, that allow you to apply pure torque with no sideways force. Perhaps you can use such a wrench, if there's room. Interesting (again). Yes, I have those, but only with hex keys, not sockets. But perhaps I can assemble one with bits now that I think about it... http://www.ebay.com/bhp/t-handle-socket-set About the nut: It sounds like you're talking about a serrated face nut: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serrated_face_nut Assuming the metal it clamps against is soft enough to take a slight impression, this should resist loosening better than a plain nut plus flat washer. OK! But generally, I much prefer other nut locking methods - say a nut with a nylon insert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyloc_nut Yes, I have several buckets of those but they are harder to put in. Also, some people say they can't be operated several times without loosing their property. Maybe it is just slander... With them, I take it you don't need a flat washer? Yes, self locking nuts have a service life. The usual practice is if the nut can be screwed in the depth of the nut with the fingers it should not be considered as self locking. or (my favorite) an anaerobic thread lock compound. OK, never heard of -- Cheers, John B. |
