Yep, those are 7/16 nuts in there. I've seen some shade tree mechanic fixes in my day but this takes the cakes.

Your close that was a shady mechanic. He could have a least rounded them off.

They work, its an OLD cheap fix. I really like axle bearing balls, they are smooth and will NEVER wear out.

See, I would have to say define "work" 'cause it might have for a little while but it wasn't working when I bought the car.

Wow I can honestly say that's not a fix I have ever heard of.
