USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler I suppose it could, but the nut is typically staked in place and that deformed lip on the nut makes it hard to remove. Would need the nut to turn outwards until it hit the drive shaft flange, then have the flange slip backwards and then the nut to turn farther and so on until it turned all the way out. The nut should still be trapped between the two flanges. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: transfercase rear flange?

Yes, its very possible. It happened to me about 7 years ago, going up highway 50. Pretty ugly. The 'staking' came unstaked, and it slowly backed out. Luckily, the damage was minimal, just needed to replace the TC output shaft, TC speedometer gear and the drive shaft. Had to be towed home though (AAA 100-mile tow is a wonderful thing).
