    Great tip, I've done that...lol. I have also threaded a thin piece of monofilament fishing line through the nut before putting it on and it acts as a virtual nylock nut.

    Doin it OLD skool! :)
    A trick my dad taught me ... erm
    50+ years ago. (He probably learned it from his dad).
    These old "how to" tips are good to keep alive.
    In my opinion anyway. Thanks!

    I did this on some exhaust nuts. I didn't have correct locknuts so I felt this was the next best thing. Seemed like it should work.

    Another great tip, Ray. Better than deforming the threads directly

    I’ve used nail polish, it holds the fastener but you can unscrew it with a bit of force.

    Good idea. I’ll try this when I replace some rivets on my old f150’s frame and replace with nuts and bolts.. I was scared of them backing out..maybe this would be a good option for something heavy duty

    • @geezergeek1637
      @geezergeek1637 6 років тому

      Another thought would be to drill a hole and lock wire them.
      You probably can find videos on that too. :)
      Crown nuts are designed for that, or for cotter pin system of locking.

      GeezerGeek another great idea lol not sure if I’m able to do that, but I’ll look into it.. I can also drill through the nut when it’s already tightened down to the frame and then put the wire through..

      Use grade 8 fine thread nuts and bolts, stake em and they’ll not call me off. Have done dozens of Ford spring perches and radius arm brackets this way and never had any problems

    What did you do to get it off? Just force the nut? Wouldnt that strip it in there?

    • @TabLeft
      @TabLeft  4 роки тому +2

      justtisha no you’re moving a small bit of metal, when you back the nut off the little bit you moved just gets pushed out of the way and it re-chases the threads. It basically keeps things from rattling loose but keeps them removable if you want to.

      @@TabLeft thanks. I just did that to get a nut off a bolt where it looks like the last threads were smushed flat. A lot of elbow grease though.

    lol "on there basically for good"... then at 2:08 proceeds to take it back off with a hand nutdriver and barely any torque at all. I suppose this has its purposes but I've never been that desperate not to have a nylock or lock washer or 2nd nut or welder or loctite or superglue or epoxy or whatever... it's far less likely that I'm going to have a vice, a punch, and a hammer, than not having a way to lock a fastener down. Plus, usually you won't be doing this in a vice, you'll be pounding on something that may not take well to being pounded on because the fastener is holding that thing together.
