Slee Draglink Jam Nut Question (1 Viewer)

[NorCalFJ100]

Hey does anyone or even @sleeoffroad Christo know what the specs are on the jam nuts they provide with their drag link? I needed to make an adjustment and dam**d if I didn't try everything to loosen that thing before I started rounding out the nut. May need to bust out the air chisel and want to have a replacement on hand. Crazy thing is it has only been on there a year or so and live in the desert of California...

Thanks mudders!!!!!

You are turning the jam nut the correct direction? One is reverse thread

Yes. The threads don't lie!! Haha. The other side was also pretty darn tight. Just not as bad as this one.

Bigger wrench then, mine is about foot long, sometimes I have to lay on n my back and push with my legs to bust loose.

Yeah. Trying all the tricks. But for now I want to get a replacement jam nut to have on standby. Going to use some anti-seeze this next time as well

The left hand tread side of the rod has a groove machined about 1/4" from the end of the rod. Are you sure you are not tightening it?
