The Double Order Catastrophe
My co-worker placed an order and wasn't sure it went through online. I later placed the same order thinking the previous order didn't go through. To my surprise both orders went through, and I needed to cancel one of the orders. I called and spoke with someone who instructed me someone would contact me about the situation. I was contacted by Misty and she said she would do her best to cancel one of the orders but not sure if she could because they were next day orders. A small tome later I received an email saying she was able to cancel one of the orders. Thank you to Misty and the entire Propel Parts Team. Greatly appreciated!! -

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 2K4973 nut used for?
The 2K4973 nut threads onto a bolt or stud to create and hold clamp load, locking the joint together against vibration. The right nut keeps a fastened assembly secure.
How do I install the 2K4973 nut?
A reliable installation of the 2K4973 starts with inspection and ends with verification. Follow this process:
- Shut the machine down and isolate power before service
- Clean the threads on the stud or bolt and inspect them
- Thread the 2K4973 on by hand to confirm it runs freely
- Tighten to the specified torque in the correct sequence
- Re-check the torque after the first operating cycle if advised
