From what I see that is all one nut. There should be a snap ring in front. Can't see from the picture. I would remove the snap ring. Now in the slot of the spindle there should be a lock block. Using a punch of socket against the 6 ears of the nut. I would lightly tap the nut counter clockwise...

Imagine that. The 1984 one is the one I always prefer. It is easier then lining up the pin to nut. And I use a screw to get the block out. It is basically the same as a CUCV pickup with the 14 bolt cooperate axle. Easy as that. Have a Great Day.

Like the idea. And it makes sense. But I have never done it that way and never had any issues. I do like your explanation. I did the torque and have had no issues. I ran these trucks a lot of miles and never knew of any adverse effects. I run Goodyear 31 10.5 X 15 MTR Kevlar tires and they wear...

I never remove them. I was told not to years ago and I have not done it since. The caster camber is not adjustable on these axles. I did look at one of these on a junk axle and it did not appear to be an essentric. I did alignments 30 years ago at a dealership and I would not know how you would...

What does that piece actually do? Does anyone know?

I just think it is old school. I only see them on the 1984 CUCV M1009. That has been my experience. But I do like it better then the double nut system. Line it up put the stop in , snap ring and done. I always give it a little tweak tight to hold the lock in place. My preference.

Big spanner nut with 6 ears. No but I use my 4 prong socket on mine. I am sure if I ask the Snap-on man he will have a $125. socket that fits it perfectly. But I do not know the correct name for the 6 eared spanner nut. But I like it.

If you get the big spanner nut wiggle loose that the flat bar is loose a strong magnet gets the lock out of the slot also. Like I said these are my preferred type of spindle nuts in lieu if the twin nuts. Good luck with your nuts.

Easy to remedy. One of the holes has a small piece of flat stock in it as a lock. I think and hope the top one. You must remove the snap ring and then you can put an awl /ice pick in the hole in the end of the flat bar and remove the lock. Then just use your 4 prong socket and take it out...
