Me too. Install the new bolt upside down with the OLD nut, count threads that are exposed above the OLD nut (keep your new nylock nut virgin for the final install). Remove bolt and grind it down the appropriate number of threads & re-install with your NEW nylock nut.


Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
