FAQs
What does 'one-shot' nut mean?

What size socket is needed for installation?
You will need a 36mm socket to install and tighten this hub nut.
Can I reuse this nut after removing it?
No, this is a 'one-shot' nut. It should be replaced with a new one every time it is loosened or removed, especially after brake servicing.
What is the correct torque setting?
The recommended torque setting for this hub nut is 290Nm (214 ft-lbs).
Is this nut compatible with axles other than ALKO?
No, this hub nut is specifically designed for ALKO axles and hubs. Using it on other axle types may result in an improper fit and potential safety hazards.
What material is the nut made of?
The nut is manufactured from steel for strength and durability, with a zinc gold plating for corrosion resistance.
Does this listing include one nut or a pair?

Troubleshooting
Nut will not thread onto the axle.
Check for thread damage on both the axle stud and the nut. Ensure you are using the correct M27 nut for an ALKO axle. Clean any debris from the threads.
Unable to achieve recommended torque.
Ensure you are using a calibrated torque wrench and the correct 36mm socket. Verify that the nut is correctly seated on the hub flange and axle.
Nut appears damaged after installation.
The nut may have been cross-threaded or over-torqued. Always start threading by hand to ensure proper alignment. If damaged, replace the nut immediately.
