FAQs
Why is this nut described as 'One Shot'?
The 'One Shot' designation means the nut is designed for a single installation. Once it has been torqued to its specification, its structural integrity may be compromised if removed and reinstalled, necessitating replacement for safety.
What happens if I reuse a 'One Shot' nut?
Reusing a single-use nut can lead to improper torque, potential loosening, and a significantly increased risk of component failure or accident. Always replace it with a new one.
How do I know if my trailer has AL-KO 2361 brake hubs?
Look for markings on the brake drum or hub assembly. AL-KO branding is often visible. The 2361 model is common on many European caravans and trailers.
Can I use this nut on other brands of trailer hubs?
This nut is specifically engineered for AL-KO 2361 brake hubs with a 36mm head. Using it on incompatible hubs is not recommended and could be unsafe.
What is the correct torque setting?
The specified torque setting for this AL-KO 36mm One Shot Flange Nut is 290NM.
Do I need a special tool to install this nut?
Yes, a calibrated torque wrench is essential to ensure the nut is tightened to the precise 290NM specification.
Troubleshooting
Nut will not thread onto the hub.
Ensure you are using the correct 36mm nut for the AL-KO 2361 hub and that the hub threads are clean and undamaged.
Unable to reach 290NM torque specification.
Verify that your torque wrench is calibrated correctly. Ensure the nut and hub threads are clean and lightly lubricated (if manufacturer specifies) to prevent binding.
