Ray-
I think these are 1/4-28 locknuts, with small slits cut in the nut bodies
to provide the anti-loosening feature. They appear to have rounded edges
on the locknut portion,, but I am pretty sure they actually do have 7/16"
flats on them .... but they are small.... take a look with a mirror, and
use an open end wrench as they let you get in closer than a socket....
( sometimes!!)
Good Luck

These fit a 7/16 socket. Problem is the nuts turn with the bolt. They are
not
rusty either. The heads on the inside appear round, therefore I can't get
a
grip on 'em with a socket or wrench. Also a vice grip is hard to get in
there
and even if I find a small vice grip the head is hard to grip as it's
quite
narrow, almost flat.
Any suggestions?
