Recently I purchased a 1984 Nissan 4X4 720 2.4 L kingcab pickup. While replacing the front wheel bearings I found that a previous owner had replaced the lock plate #40258(which is assembled between the drive clutch and the wheel bearing lock nut #40262with a modified flat washer, I'm lucky the wheel didn't fall off!
If anyone has this part or could lead me to a source, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you

Is that the washer-like thing with holes in it and a little piece hanging off each side in the middle that fits into the notch on the shaft?

Well, I checked and I don't have one. I'd suggest going to a junkyard and getting one off an old model (not likely, 4x4 720s in the yard are like gold), or going to Nissan or an affiliated part store. They have a few good suppliers recommended here, check the advertisers I'd say...

It actually isn't that one but the other washer with the dowels that fit into the mating part with the holes, I'm running out of wrecking yard, oh well, maybe I'll try Ebay?
Thank you

I recently purchased to restore a 1984 Nissan model 720 4 X 4 Pickup with a 2.4 L engine. While changing the front wheel bearings, the passenger side was missing the (2)special wheel bearing lock washers that fasten together with pins in one washer and holes in the other and are both held in place by the lock nut. I believe their Part codes are 40052C-Nissan # 40243-41W01 and 40542-Nissan #40242-41W01. I have search extensively without any luck. Looking for help. Thank you Ed
