Old wheel nut

irishguy19772

I have an old jack with a wheel that I lost the nut out of. It fits down into the top of the bolt so any old nut won't do
Is it possible to cut the wheel apparatus open with an angle grinder and replace and put a longer bolt in it.

Any idea if this is a special type of bolt?

Is the thread on the jack wheel normal sized? Eg m8/m10 etc

You need a better pic. Hard to see in that one.

If it is a trolley jack are you sure there was a nut on it?

You sure it hadn't a circlip on top of that stub?

Thats what I was thinking.

Drop a thick washer down on top of it & a ring of weld.
It wont fall off again

Have you room to drill a small hole through the diameter and place a washer on and then a split pin?

So it looks something like:
