Re: overtight axle nuts
Hello everybody !
I'm really a newbie ! I checked again and realised that the axle was ok ! It was only the nut that was damaged ! I also discovered that the axle had been already modified in the past because it's a ø9/16. I realised that when I tried to put a new axle nut from original parts from the vendors ... So now, it could be easy to fix ! What i need is a 9/16 nut UNF but, in France and in french we say "ça se trouve pas sous le sabot d'un cheval" (can't be find under a horse's hoof") which meens you can't find it easily at the retail store but i'll find it. Thanks again to everybody. |

Re: overtight axle nuts
Tightening the axle nut increases the tension stress in the axle shaft. The inboard end of the key-way slot is a stress concentration place and a fatigue hot spot. So tightening the axle nut unnecessarily to a high torque raises the tension stress and will lead to this prematurely:

Re: overtight axle nuts
Yes it is less about how tight the nut is and more about that the hub is tight... to the laymen that is a mindblower.

Re: overtight axle nuts
I’m ashamed to say how tight I torqued one of my axle nuts, let’s just say over 150lbs. I was really lucky I didn’t strip anything. I knew I was putting a lot of muscle into it and was even thinking “why this much”. I either looked in the les andrews book or got the value on a google search. Spoke to an old model A friend and he was like that’s waaaaaaayyyyy too much. It’s all common sense AFTER you get your mind wrapped around the entire picture. This has been a great and enlightening thread.
