N 901 496 01 : Rear hub castle nut 46 mm for Volkswagen Combi Bay Window

This castle nut ensures the tightening of the drum on the left or right rear hub of the Volkswagen Combi Bay Window produced from 08/1967 to 07/1979. With a size of 46 mm, it is fitted with a tightening torque of 30 m.kg and must be locked with a split pin after tightening. This precaution is essential: as the rotation direction of the left rear wheel corresponds to the loosening direction of the nut, a missing split pin could lead to gradual unscrewing and wheel loss whilst driving. As part of the restoration or maintenance of a classic Combi Bay Window, replacing this nut guarantees the safety and reliability of the rear axle.
