Adjustor nuts

[tjhenry]

I was reading through clymer's a couple times just to make sure i was reading it right, and the nuts on the adjustor bolts look like hex nuts in the picture, but in the directions it states locknuts, now they look like regular old hex nuts to me, are they actually wore down locknuts?

if so, where do i get some oem's, because mine are pretty stripped

What are you talking about?

Regular nuts used to lock another are called locknuts, even when they are just regular nuts.

it's on the rear axle, the adjustor bolts on either side, the previous owner has some pretty shiny hex nuts on there, and i was wondering if they need to be replaced, i was worried about vibration, but if a regular nut will work i won't worry about it

does that help?

The lock nut is just a regular nut in that application.
