I've looked everywhere online and can't find those nuts anywhere
What your describing here is for loose bearings or caged bearingsWrong advice, bearing nuts are supposed to be snug so as to not wear the bearing out prematurely. Also adjusted properly the bearing will ride/wear on the appropriate bearing surfaces. The bearing nut LOCKNUT should be tight to prevent the bearing nut from overtightening or loosening.
Take no pleasure in correcting you Mr. Wrench but that was just bad advice. You know a lot more than me b
View attachment 105116Notice the 2 nuts in the middle on the top. One is for adjustment, other for locking down the adjustment nut. Notice the flat spots on the adjustment nut, that's why you need a thin cone wrench.
Yeah he had me a little confused about that. His description wasn't matching the diagram he posted. The diagram is right tho. I need to find those nutsWhat your describing here is for loose bearings or caged bearings
You can't wear out a sealed bearing by tightening the nut against the inner race. You even posted a diagram.

These Nuts are not for use with Coaster Brake hubs that use different threading. Need another Axle Nut / Spacer / Part or Hub?.www.ebay.com
Why are there locknuts in the diagram then? I see your point, the inner race isn't supposed to turn but that's in a perfect world.What your describing here is for loose bearings or caged bearings
