Install and tighten the new rear axle wheel end nut to specification in a continuous rotation. Stopping the rotation during installation will cause the nylon lock to set incorrectly. This will cause incorrect torque readings while tightening the rear axle wheel end nut, and lead to bearing failure. Install a new rear axle wheel end nut every time after loosening or not installing the rear axle wheel end nut to specification in a continuous rotation.
