ABSTRACT:
A wheel mount for a vehicle wheel having a wheel flange on the exterior of which is mounted a rotation bearing. The wheel flange bore is internally splined. A cardan shaft has an externally threaded shaft portion projecting into the bore of the wheel flange. A resilient sheet metal nut is internally screw threaded to be screwed onto the threaded portion of the cardan shaft. The nut has a radially outwardly extending flange which engages the wheel flange so as to axially fix the nut at the wheel flange as the nut is tightened on the cardan shaft portion. The outer circumference of the nut, axially at its threaded portion, has radially resilient tongues projecting out into the splining of the wheel flange to permit the nut to be screwed onto the cardan shaft portion and either to permit the nut to be unscrewed or in a different design to prohibit the nut from being unscrewed. Through the nut, the wheel flange and the cardan shaft are secured.
