#2 self-locking hex nut

i have reused the nuts a bunch of times but i would recommend just buying a new one they only cost about dollar. just to be safe.

The nut isn't self locking and doesn't have to be replaced.

Oh, okay. I must have misread that somewhere.

Thanks.

I want to install my chrome cluster rings and alpina strip, but I'm worried that once I get the steering wheel off, I'll need to buy a new self locking nut.

Can I reuse the old one?

Thanks
