Castellated nuts are used with bolts that have holes drilled in them for cotter pins or safety wire. To torque one, first you bring the fastener to the published torque...say it's 90 lb-ft. You then tighten it just enough more to make the holes accessible to the cotter pins or the safety wire, and install the locking device.
jack the car up, take the wheel off, remove the cotter key from the large castle nut then remove the castle nut and then using a pickle fork or balljoint seperator pry the ball joint out, once it is free remove the 2 bolts attaching it to the control arm, reverse the procedure for re-installing them jack the car up, take the wheel off, remove the cotter key from the large castle nut then remove the castle nut and then using a pickle fork or balljoint seperator pry the ball joint out, once it is free remove the 2 bolts attaching it to the control arm, reverse the procedure for re-installing them
a nut cracker
It has slots in the top of the nut to used with a cotter pin. Looks a lot like the top of the Rook piece from a chess game ( which some refer to as the castle).
True, you advance it to the next slot.
Torqueing the nut rather than the bolt is often preferred because it provides a more consistent and uniform clamping force across the joint. When the nut is torqued, it minimizes the risk of damaging the bolt's threads and ensures that the bolt is engaged properly without introducing unnecessary stress. Additionally, this method allows for easier access and adjustment in tight spaces, making it more practical for assembly and maintenance.
Bad bearings inside or loose castle nut.

Remove wheel, remove dust cap, should be a castle nut with a cotter key, remove key and castle nut. if memory serves, the drum should come off now.
its actually called a castle nut, it only works on the right type of bolt, once its tightened on just simply push the pin(it should come with a pin)through the nut and bolt and it locks in place.
no no no you do not need to remove your castle nut if the rotor will not come off you need to beat it tell it dose
Remove plastic cap and after the nut
A cotter pin is typically used with a castle nut, also known as a castellated nut. This type of nut has notches or slots that allow the cotter pin to secure it in place, preventing it from loosening under vibration or movement. The combination ensures a reliable connection in various mechanical applications.
