[QUOTE="mga, post: 576269, member: 10757"] so, what you're saying is the nut apparently backed off several turns, then during some use of the splitter, the piston forced it the rest of the way off. i wasn't sure what you meant by "blown off". i have to side with cylinder services and suggest NOT using any pins. if you have enough good threads on the rod end, why not just clean it up, put the nut back on and use [B]loc-tite[/B]?? once dried, that nut isn't going anywhere and your problem stemmed from the nut backing off, allowing play on the piston end...forcing the nut off the remaining threads.
