Checking the tightness of halfshafts

[Bob Culver]

If nothing is wrong checking involves no dismantling. With an appropriate wrench of 12 inches and moderate pressure unlikely to break the thread. The main problem is aligning the split pin. Unlike other cars the wheel cannot come off. I always ran without the split pin and regularly checked. If nothing wrong the nut does not loosen. I suspect many reduce tension to align split pin as it is tedious to fit the nut or washer. The main problem you may cause is an obstinate hub if and when it does need to be dismantled!
