As I recall, you don=E2=80=99t need the split washers. The washers =

Today, I had to tighten the 6 nuts on my exhaust down pipes. This is =
the second time in 2 years I have had to do this. What is causing the =
nuts to work loose? Each of the 6 studs from the exhaust manifolds has =
split lock washers and brass nuts on the down pipe flanges. Each time =
time I have tightened the nuts, I tighten them until the nuts squeak.
=20
What am I doing wrong and does anyone else have this issue? What do I =
need to do to fix this? The car is a 66 BJ8 with stock manifolds and =
down pipes.

Thanks for any advice, I'm stumped,
