Spindle Nutz Question

RE: Dana 30

Not sure if the spindle nuts & washers are part of the hub hardware or not, but I ordered a replacement set (see enclosed picture). The washers have a tooth that fits into the spindle groove so that stops them from spinning, but what locks them in place keeping them from backing out?

you bend the outside,large, washer to hold the outside nut in place. Or do what I do and locktite the begeebers out of it.

the larger washer goes in first?

No, the washer goes between the nuts.
That washer is a PITA to bend. Do yourself a favor and buy a nut kit for a Dana 44 they work much better. But you would need a new socket wench.
