I have HDX 589

After getting a very very snug fit I double-nut every bolt.

I guess one could use lock nuts.

Does anyone have any thoughts on locknuts vs. double nuts vs. snug?


Double nut and lock nuts work well where there is a lot of expansion and contraction, or vibration.

Snug works well in static situations
