spur gear nut

[2dxtreme]

my spur gear nut keeps backing off when the engine starts getting warm. anyone know of anything i can do to prevent this? would a little bit of blue loc-tite be ok?

alot of people replace them every time they change the spur...the ny-lock in it wears quickly and should probably be replaced if it's backing off...

I'm gonna try that once i can get my hands on some regular 4mm nuts. i'll let u know how it goes.

Sounds good, 2dxtreme.

Let know how you like the mod, bro

the weird thing now the nut won't come off anymore. I'm gonna keep going til the nut backs off then do the mod. i was running it a while ago and was running it pretty hard still nothing came off woohoo. only reason i stopped is cause its so muggy out it made the truck very lean and hot so i called it a night.

Grab a set of needle-nose pliars and grip the nut.

While pulling the nut towards the front of the truck, spin the spur gear's aluminum disk clock-wise, if your looking at from the truck's front view.

It should come off.

i know how to take it off I'm meaning when I'm driving right now it isn't spinning off like before.
