sidrick Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Slotted nuts are slotted because they're generally sunken, I believe. A normal socket won't fit most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. a tool? its the same that you use for a standard hex fella, spanner, socket, whatever. thats just a castle nut, which was the prefered method of securing a nut before the creation of nylon locking nuts. castle nuts are used in conjunction with spilt pins, thats what the slots are for.

It's not, this is sunken. You cannot get a normal hex round it, no way. You could get it off with a screwdriver and hammer, but you won't get it back on that way. I've seen castle nuts and split pins on hub nuts before, but there's no pin on this, (because) it's sunken, and it's on a strut. There's a tool for this, for sure.

caled Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Would a torx socket not fit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The purpose of those nuts is to use them with split pins. Unless you've provided us with the wrong image. If a nut is sunken so that a spanner or socket wont fit on it then there will be a special tool for it, but it's not a special tool just for castle nuts, it'd be a tool for sunken hex nuts, if such a thing exists. Do you have a pic of it? Would a shaven socket fit? (walls ground down so it fits inside the recess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
