Rear Axle Threads or Nut Stripped?

[Paulcet]

Sorry I can't help confirm your thread size. Mine is the older course thread with castle nut. The fine thread lock nut and axle on the new ones are prone to stripping. Your axle is probably also stripped. If you think the thread on your axle is still OK, take it to a hardware store and compare - see if any nut will thread on successfully.

All prior posts are suggesting you just replace both with the old style axle/castle nut.

but can someone tell me if this is the correct size I need?

Grade 8 M14x1.5 Castle Nut?

Thank you!

Yes its the right thread.

The nut is 22m AF (across flats) You can use either a nylock or if the axlebolt has a hole through its diameter a castellated nut and splitpin.

However, its a fine thread so very prone to stripping and if the nut has gone chances are the axlebolt will have too.
