What I would like to know is exactly how they stripped? Was it while in operation due to coming loose, or was it while you were installing/tightening the nuts? What was the real cause of this failure. I get the "O"-ring now, but kind of a weak way to atempt keeping the nut in place if you ask me. Why not just put a nut with a flange/shoulder on it, and add a serated surface to hold it in place. The only way to keep from destroying the o-ring in a threaded application is to lubricate it, and we all know that kind of defeats the purpose of using the nut in the first place, because it will surely work its way loose. I find it hard to believe that with all of the great engineering that goes into desiging these vehicles that some one cannot come up with a full proof way to keep our wheels on.
