King 2.5 Bump Stops

Bulletnjm · May 6, 2017

Hello, i am working on installing my SVC ABS kit and i am working on mounting the bumps in the cans and the top mounting nut is extremely tight. I can thread it on to the top of the can for the full length of the nut but after that it gets extremely tight. When i put a wrench on it, it starts to move but requires a lot of force. Is this normal for the bumps?

Just make sure it's not cross threading and you'll be fine. I had to really wrench on mine to get them tight

Ok, yeah the threads are not messed up. I just wanted to make sure it was normal. Thanks!

That's good! Definitely normal. If you don't already, witness mark everything and you'll see if anything comes loose. I highly doubt that nut will ever come loose though!

You've got a split beam type lock nut on the top there. As others have said as long as you're not cross threading you'll be fine.

Whats happening is you're threading the nut on to the point where it is engaging the "beams" at the top. These are slightly bent inwards to keep the nut from backing off. The benefit of these over nylon lock nuts is they can be reused multiple times.

A little nut knowledge if this was keeping you up at night.
