Source for washers and adjusting nut on 1990 Ranger

[Duane Becker]

I have a 1990 xlt 4x4 2.9 engine. Other than wrecking yards, is there a place to buy the set of washers that go on the spindle and the nut holding the rotor on.
I've been cleaning and repacking the front wheel bearings. Did the drivers side and everything came off very easy. However, on the passenger side after the little C clamp and washers came off, the adjusting nut (what the Haynes manual calls it) and the little washers on the nut will not come off. Looks like a little hair line crack on the nut and its holding the set of washers on. Also the nut is super tight.
Might be looking into finding replacement parts for the stuff.
Other than yards, anyone know of a place online selling this kind of stuff?
Thanks for the help!

Most parts stores sell them. I know for a fact Advance has them.

There was some discussion recently in an older thread about these nuts and washers... have a look.

Anyone seen these locking D35/D44 spindle nuts? | The Ranger Station

It might be that the washer "spun" on the spindle... if this is the case... depending on how bad... you might actually need a spindle too.

I literally just checked advance autos website and they have them in stock.

Thanks all for the replies, I was sure I was screwed trying to find specialty washers. Makes me feel a little better, I probably would have checked the auto part stores eventually.
