You can always order them from a Kawasaki dealer, as most of the watercraft head nuts are acorn cap nut in 8mmX1.25
Does anyone know where I can find some M8 x 1.25 Stainless Acorn/Cap Nuts ... I've looked online with no luck, looked locally with no luck. Anyone have a lead for me?
so you don't make the mistake Wasteland made unless you have already made that mistake.
I believe he already has, lol. Tricky1 introduced me to a new type of tool "Stud Wrench." They work on studs. stuck bolts, broken off bolts. They are like a gator grip...only they work well:biggthumpup:
only problem with those is they indent the threads and worse depending on how stuck the stud is. I used to use them but on studs that you need to reuse later I go with the double nut setup. and you can also put some vise-grips on the smooth part of the stud for the particularly stubborn ones in combination with the wrench. Never found one I couldn't remove yet! plus you can use a socket once you break it loose to turn it out quicker, just my .02. later
Yeah man I dont see a problem with the "2nut" method.
Works fine and is cheap.
