The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Difficulties installing & torquing rear drum

In reply to Bluebell, I do have the washer & pulled off as suggested by John before taking picture. I ran a brand new 5/8 -18 nut from NAPA on the axle & it went in about 1/2 way before tightening some so I didn't force. I do have one of those Bluepoint "thread fixer" tools but am reluctant to use it.
