    I've reused nylock nuts, adding blue threadlocker. Never an issue in
    over 100K miles.<br>

        <div>This reminds me of a major problem that I had with Nyloc
          nuts. When I was working on a BN1 rear hub a well-known
          supplier offered me Nylocs rather than the standard all-metal
          wheel nuts.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I fitted the nuts and torqued up to the usual figure of
          about 65 <span
            style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif">p</span><span
            style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif">ou</span><span
            style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif">nds-feet</span>.
          After some miles of running the hub extension became loose and
          started to work through the wheel studs. I managed to stop
          with only two studs remaining. I was lucky because I could
          have lost the whole wheel on a busy A road.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>After checking I realized that using Nyloc nuts torqued to
          the standard tightness was not right. I now, if I use them at
          all. fit the nuts and test what torque reading is used just to
          turn the nut loose on the wheel stud; it is about 20 <span
            style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif">pounds-feet
            in my case. I then add</span> this torque measurement to
          give about 85 <span
            style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif">pounds-feet;</span> 20
          for the nut and 65 left to do the job as originally intended</div>
