yeah I dont like the Haynes books. I buy them cause they generally have more wiring diagrams then the Chilton books. I only have the Haynes for the 99 Malibu with no good pics of the wheel hub with the nut still on.
I only remember seeing a single nut and washer on GM half shafts....hold on a sec, bout to pull my gf's center cap off
yeah man, u werent supposed to bend those tabs. It holds all the layers together. See if u can get it back together enough to get a good grip on it with a socket. I dont know wtf they made that change for. It used to be a regular nut.
If it aint broke......
what are u replacing, the wheel hub? ball joint?
