Click my black Bronco in my signature & read the captions in the Brakes & Hubs album. It's all shown & explained in detail.

If you still have questions, reference the pic that shows what you're working with. To post one, click the text field beside "THUMB", copy it (CTRL+C), then paste it (CTRL+V) into your post here to embed it, like this:

Does either of those look like the one you're fighting?

On manual hub locks, the number of screws in the cap doesn't matter. But on autos, it IDs the style of factory wheel bearing adjusting nut.
