I converted my automatic hublocks to the manual hublocks and changed the nuts that adjusts the bearing preload. I can't keep the nuts from backing out on the driver side. The passenger side is fine and is staying tight but the driver side no matter how tight I make it it keeps on coming loose. Naturally it is the driver side that's going to work its way loose first because of the rotation of the tire. I am running 35 inch BFG's. I read on the home page of how the nuts keep coming loose because of the use of larger than stock tires. The last incident I used a 24" breaker bar to tighten the nut down and I think it is already coming loose. I am even thinking of going back to auto hubs so I can use the old style lock nuts with the keyway lock to prevent it from coming loose. Does anyone have any ideas?
