[BFix] Was Never Use Lock Washers-Crank Pulley Question now learn me something

Safety wire pliers.  I'll let TS explain how they work. He used it to also make a nice vacuum plug on the Jeep's manifold with some tubing, a stick, and the safety wire.

      They do have a place on small, numbered size fasteners used on electronics circuit boards. That is the only place I'll accept them.

      Safety wire & pliers are part of my trail tools. Also going with them is a tool MISF found at a gun show that allows the building of hose clamps from safety wire. One pound of .040" safety wire could make one VERY large clamp. A lot larger than I want to carry with me.

        We don't use them on overhead cranes and structures anymore for the same reason.  Don't need a 40-ton crane with loose girders!  We do find old ones with broken locks and replace them without.  Nylock nuts are pretty popular....Its amazing how many bolts can be broken/missing/loose and a structure still works ok.  But at the point it no longer works things get exciting.

          Hello,
          Hey don't ever use lock washers on anything--including your lawnmower!  If you need a fastener to be secure in a blind bolt hole then use a loc-tite or similiar compound.  Just like Jack mentioned the other split and then the torque value placed on the fastener is totally compromised.  That goes for bolting two pieces together --flat washers on either side of the pieces-- the bolt goes through and a lock nut either nylon or metal is used.  There is a reason no professional race cars or the space shuttle has not lock washers.

            Generally speaking I don't like lock washers.  They split and leave you with a very loose bolt.  That's just me though.  How about safety wire?  :)

            Hey all,

            Got a dumb crank pulley question for ya.  When Eric N (gotta love that guy..he's everywhere..and always there when u need him) and I assembled my 351w we used steel pulleys and no split washers on the crank pulley.  Now that I'm putting the WildHorses hard anodized aluminum ones on I'm asking my self if there should be a lock washers on the crank pulley?

            thanks for the input,

            Mick
