Staking castle nuts

[cmshoot]

My stake jobs were always secure, but now they are secure AND looking good. Practice makes perfect......plus I’ve bought and tried several different punches.

good info and a good stake job.

i use an automatic center punch a couple of times to get a nice dent before i hit it with a ball peen and manual center punch. mine don’t look that good but i’ve not had one come loose.
