"it looks like you just pulled the threads from the nut." QUOTE.


I too thought, that but it appears upon a closer examination that the

nut has "pulled off", the external axel thread; this being rather odd in that

the nut loads from it's "start". The nut was hardly engaged when this

happened by the looks of the situation - high loading upon first few threads!

Could the washer(s) have caused this? More than likely.
