I've seen a few different ones before, if its as per original it should be 3/8" UNF, if its aftermarket it might be M10 although it could be a fine pitch 10mm thread.

You could, as a VERY temporary measure, use a wheel nut until you can get the correct nyloc.

sometimes the rubber ones can "swell" internally, had it before with a clutch one.

ahhhh so it restricted the flow on that side and gave you less efficiency so yanked you to the other side? |
