where is it located????

The lock nut is located just to the right of the brake roater mount.
You need a realy big wrench to tighten it.

Go into sterring and suspension, and do a search for axel locknut problem. I posted that a couple weeks ago and some of the respnses might be able to help ya.

Get some big Crescent wrenches. They can be used for other things besides tightening the axle.
Don't use a pipe wrench, the jaws will deform the lock nut, and it will not tighten properly, or stay tight for you. Plus the marks left by a pipe wrench are hideous and indicative of the owners (low) mechanical abilities.

If it keeps loosening on you, your bearings may be shot. Or, your center bearing spacer may be too short.
