Does Nut Retainer go on Before or After Nut For Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly

Published 04/07/2022

Question:

Hub replacement. Does the axle nut retention sleeve on the ez grease axle go on before the nut or after? I’ve seen it installed both ways. I’m thinking before the nut, then bent for retention.

The nut would go on first, then the nut retainer, for the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles - 10" to 12" - 5 on 4.5 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-1K.
