Hi, had my hubs off today and the peen nuts are mullered. Is it possible to buy them separate as I don't need new bearings at the moment?
Thanks in advance, mitch.

Re: Peen nuts
I had looked on BW, obviously not looked hard enough!
Not the first time I've made an ass of myself today. When reassembling one of the hubs, I placed the washer on before the peen nut and then couldn't tighten the nut up sufficiently to push the bearing in. Looked at the slots in the shaft and saw that with the washer as far back as it's tongue would allow it, there was still several millimetres between it and the bearing.
Jeepers, this had me vexed. Resorted to undoing the other wheel before noticing that I was trying to slide the washer tab up the slot that you bend the peen nut tabs into.........Doh! Hadn't noticed the third slot on the side for the washer tab.
Lesson learned for next time.

Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

Re: Peen nuts
I must admit that their search engine throws up loads of extraneous goodies except for the one thing that you are looking for.
