Rear axle click DIY preparation

[Wolf24h]

Going to replace the rear axle nuts with the Kawasaki ones. Any info on the washers I could use, size/substitute? There is no way £8.79 for one washer is justified. Any tips from people that did it themselves welcome. I guess I have to do stuff myself if I want it to be done properly. I left a car at a 'jap cars specialists' (no names) and literally told them what the problem and solution is but they just told me they can regrease the CV joint boots. I will provide photos and description in this thread for others when I'm done

I did the fix myself a couple of months ago using the Torqen kit, it's an easy job. I might have the old washers in the garage to measure up, I'll have a look later.

Edit I have the nuts that came off (with the flimsy castellation tin hats that are the root cause of the problem) but I must have reused the washers.  You need to add as many washers as necessary to bring the new castellated nut far enough out that the cotter pin fits properly into the castellation rather than on the edge.  That's why the kit comes with 6.  I think/must have used all 6 plus the original 2 as well. 

 

Sorry can't help with measuring them.

No worries, thanks for the effort. For now I think I'm going to order the washers from Amayama, the waiting time is long but there's no hurry. It would be less than £20 pounds for 6 washers and 3 pins, much more reasonable price if you can wait
