Where you drill the hole and knock the tabs in then fold the remaining tabs around the bolt faces..We have roller conveyors at work, the bolts kept undoing on the side where the roller direction counters the thread direction causing it to come undone when the bearings were starting to get a little worse for wear.. I realise it would be best to replace a roller everytime you come across this but it becomes a pita when sh*t gets busy.I tried spring washers, locktite, wire through the bolt holes (caused them to shear more often), then the star washers.Bend 4 tabs up and 2 tabs into the drilled holes. The bolts dont undo themselves anymore they just shear off when the bearings are totally farked. Edited 29/04/12 03:58 PM by Kroozin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a customer who had this problem not that long ago and under Brads instructions we tac welded the bolts. Car has since done about 3000k's and the customer who owns it almost breaks traction every single time he drives it. Time will tell if this holds up or not.over the past months I've seen both good and bad work come from nizpro and atomic, I work in the industry and see these everyday. I wouldn't go believing rumors that spread and at the end of the day just because 1 person has a bad experience with a workshop or company doesn't mean you will. The sad thing is 1 negative word goes a lot further then 10 good words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only there sometimes and sounds a bit like a squealing belt. Does anybody know if that's a flexplate symptom?Well for those interested the squeal is a Flex Plate symptom. I got the Whoooooooooooom Whooooooooooom sound with a vibration this morning around 2000rpm when it was cold, a definate symptom. Off to the XFT hospital on Tuesday morning.
