Default Hub Nuts ?

Hi All.
I need to remove my rear hubs but don't seam to be able to replace the nut when I re-assemble everything,
The nuts are not handed i.e. same nut fits both sides, they look like there are made up of washers with a folded over top.
Anybody know which nuts these are, the stubs are 108mm flanges if that helps.

Many Thanks

Alan

I think I know what you are on about , does the nut look like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=310298586991
If it does you will need to buy new ones as they are only suposed to be used once as they can split up and just spin around.
They was fitted to the later ford fiestas mondeo and escort but there are different sizes.
Hope this helps

Hi.
They look like them, would these have been fitted to 2WD cosworths if not would they have the same thread on both sides.

Thanks

Alan

I think you can use them 4 times but they do have a tendancy to fall apart after a couple of goes. Have them on the rear of the missus focus. They are about 12 squid each from ford

ebay linky not working for me, but I know TVR were fitted with the cage nuts, a series of flat discs bound together in a cage to form a nut, if so can safely be re-used.
