Proline 23mm hex nut spinning......

[arawak420]

off. my left front wheel keeps spinng the hex nut off as it rotates to the taking it off direction while the truck is spinng forward. they should have made it reverse so it tightens as the wheel spins forward. how do i keep the nut from coming loose and then off while driving? should i lock-tite it? i dont know if i can find a 23mm lock washer.

any suggestions would help greatly. that k46 power.

You can loctite it but use blue only. I suggest getting new hex nuts.Yours may be worn.

the hex nuts a pretty new about 2 gallons. holds tight but the torque transfer. i'll lock tite it for sure.

I had this trouble with my Savage and come to find out the hex on the wheel was starting to strip and would loosen the wheel nut.

try plumbers tape first see if that does it...otherwise you'll be putting loctite on every time you pull the wheel.....and the loctite needs to cure for a little while at least before you run it.....
