For reasons not necessary to go into here, I have recently had to remove the rear hub nuts, both sides.
These are described through Jag manuals etc. as "do not re use".. I believe they have some form of helicoil within.
I am getting quite collection of such nuts

Some of them are clearly not re-usable, others have what appears to be the helicoil within and look no different to a brand new one. I'm tempted to reuse the "good" ones - perhaps with Loctite? Buying new ones every time is becoming a tad expensive!. has anyone any experience in this area, or can offer alternatives?

Thanks for any help

Well, we had a forum member about 3ish years ago lose control of his 01’ Supercharged Vanden Plas just taking a mild turn, lost control abruptly and ended up in a ditch. The car was a total loss. The kicker is that he just had a business do rear wheel bearings and do you think they replaced the nuts with new ones?? Nope! His forum name was Col Sanderz if you want to look it up. The axle nut came off on one side and tilted the wheel over towards one side as he was turning a corner.

Btw, congratulations on your very first post being a 10 year member. 😂
