Reusing Self-Locking NyLok Type Nuts

Well Known Member
Just FWI - AC 43.13 - 2B Pg. 7-12 allows reusing elastic stop nuts with the minimum prevailing torque as shown. Pretty low values in relation to the initial torque values I developed when testing "virgin" nuts. So, the FAA allows re-use even with a very low drag induced by the composite collar.

Interesting.
