The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 5/8 castle nuts vs nylon lock for rear axle hub

I would like to use nylock nuts instead of castle nut on my rear axle. I found it a little trying to get the cotter pin to line up at 100 ft #. Is there a reason that I should NOT use the nylon lock nuts? I respect so many of you on this wonderful site.
