I'm getting ready to change my brake pads and wheel bearings. I won't know until I have the wheels off and pop off the dust cover to find out if my car has the "upgrade" to the castle nut/cotter pin setup. In an effort to prevent having my car disassembled for who-knows-how long during the search for the castle nuts, I would like to know where they could be aquired. Since Chuck Melton's information indicates using a 1 1/16 inch socket, I assume the threads are inch, correct? Since one is LH thread and the other a RH thread, are these things a common size? If so, what are they? I'm hoping they are not the hard-to-find parts that require me to wait until Mars and Pluto line up on a third Thursday of the month, build a bonfire from 13th century timber, dance around it three times and then sacrifice a chicken to find these things.
