Rear Axle Nut For A 240k

[noddle]

Hi,

where would I buy rear axle nut(s) for a '75 240K ?,

I rang my local Nissan dealer, and spoke to a guy in "spare parts", he almost laughed at me,

and told me he could not get them.

I know I can buy a bearing kit, which has the bearings, seals, and nut, but at $50 ish each side, it's a bit more than I want to spend for 2 nuts.

I have also tried the local "nut & bolt" shop, but he could not supply a nut with the "metal lip" for the locking bit

so any help would be appreciated

and before you ask why I'm taking the rear axles out, it to fit the brackets for my disc conversion

Why you need to replace them?

You destroy them getting them off???

It's something I have never had to do, as I got the originals off without any problems.

Have you tried another 240K wreck, or better to us, have you measured the size so we might be able to interchange something else???

The locking ring can get wrecked when removing the nut, (I have to replace bearing on one side), it's full of locktight at the moment, but I like the locking "ring" to make sure it doesn't come lose.. I'll upload a picture later, so you can see how the nut works with the axle

Ill check the shed today. I didn't realize you had a 240k - despite it clearly saying so on your profile.
