[alfa] Transmission drive flange nut “spiking”?

["Robert Watson" <robert_watson100@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

The nut connecting the drive flange to the shaft at the rear of the
transmission on a 69 spider became loose. I am going to torque the nut
back up, but I am hoping someone can help me to describe the procedure to
lock this nut to the shaft so that it does not come loose again. It
does not appear that this locking was in place before.

 

Specifically there is a grove in the transmission shaft cut under where
the nut sits. I was told that somehow the nut or something is spiked
into the grove after it is torque to lock it?

 

Can someone give me a description of this technique?
