Basically its a half open nut so that you can go over the rod to reach the bolt. Dreamtire - The Wheel & Tire Specialists. Also speicalizing in all German Electrical Repairs!

Some of the cheaper brands will come sealed and they do not last as long. If I known that you need them I could have thrown them in with the wheels. I get these parts really cheap, and since its a small item I could have attached them with the wheels. Rod Dreamtire - The Wheel & Tire Specialists.
