drill the bolt and put a split pin or hairpin in it.....or use a tab washer.

if it is a nyloc nut then something heavy duty must be going on to get it undone, unless you've undone it a few times in which case its bolloxd - they don't like that sort of thing ya know?

anyway get to bed - long day tomorrow! LOL

Can get them for one of the US Nissan's:thumb2 I'm thinking of just making one up if I can to help reduce the vibration through the steering wheel when off road but mainly for when I fit the 31's
