I have never had this > kind of experience with these nuts. It was unbelievable. This means either that someone else had them off recently, or that they were loose. They need to be very tight to avoid destroying the splines in the hub. Torque to 215 lb-ft, then advance to the next notch (note that there are 2 cross drillings in the axle!) in the castellated nut. Install a good cotter pin. Jim - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA *******************************
