Do you mean the nut was there but no cotter key??? singlecabboy <sealingwaxred@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I had a leaking rear axle seal at Eureka Springs this past month . Thank goodness I had trailered it or we would have been putting a new seal in on Sat. nuight . I trailered the truck home and several daze later Bob and I fixed the seal .When we took the wheel off we found that there was a cotter key on the axtle ...........but no axtle nut . This was on the drivers side . It didn't leak at all till the Sat. morning of the show . I don't see anyway for anyone to not put the nut on and put a cotter key on ? I'd say I dodged a large bullet this time .... Anyway the zone is on the road again and life is good and ready for the trip to Rusty Wallis on Friday Paul Smith www.23window.com/thezone H.B.B T.C.B Transporters at the Point 4
