Bought this from Wolfsburgwest along with my new WW stroker crank for my Okrasa project an this happened luckily while just doing the end play. Stripped out just using a breaker bar! Anyone else here of this? I ordered another one from AA, hope Wolfsburgwest is selling their gland nut. What a piece of garbage.

Had the same thing happen on a buddies car. We forgot the washer and it bottomed out and stripped. _________________ 1960 Indigo Blue Ragtop (Blue Barry)

I had the washer on it. Was yours also a WW one? _________________ Go Reds! Smash state!

Nope. Oddly after putting the washer back on and torquing it it tightened back up. _________________ 1960 Indigo Blue Ragtop (Blue Barry)

looks like a 1600 gland nut. They are different than 36hp. _________________ Old enough to remember THRILLS, the gum that tastes like soap. |

36 HP is shorter and the shoulder is different. I'll look later and see if I can take a pic of the differences.
Did you look and see if it was the same as an old one?
Here's a crappy pic from an old ad

WOlfsburgwest advertises it as a German gland nut explicitly for 36hp. I think I still have it I will compare it to others I have.
I bought one from AA which is advertised as for any VW engine and it worked fine. _________________ Go Reds! Smash state!

Yeeesh...just bought a WW gland nut for a customer's vehicle...think I will use the old one w/ a new bearing.
Been having a bit of difficulty w/ WW parts as of late, dumb things like not fitting. Hmmm. |
