I don't know why you don't post pictures of your problems it'd really help. But the above reply is the description of a DEFORMED THREAD LOCKNUT. The LAST thread is intentionally deformed, if you look closely you may see the top is oval shape. Install easy side first, then the last threads engage by friction and prevent the nut from loosening. Hence why it's called a locknut and is one time use.
