[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3928697, member: 15054"] :) External tooth lock washers work for flexplate bolts. Those Original Post washers have never worked but make good spacers. Need a lock nut and do not have any handy. Take a regular nut and thread it 1/3 to 1/2 way onto a bolt. Lay the nut and bolt on a hard surface concrete or steel. Wack the nut with a hammer pinching the threaded portion that is not threaded onto the bolt. Now you have a locking nut. It will thread on by finger strength until you get to the slightly pinched area and then it is wrench time. I have done that many times. [/QUOTE]
