Coats 8181183 Nylon Insert Lock Nut, 5/16-18 GR4

A fastener that backs out mid-job isn't just annoying -- it takes the machine offline. The Coats 8181183 is a 5/16-18 nylon insert lock nut rated GR4, and it's the OEM-spec replacement for Coats tire changers and balancers. The nylon insert grips the threads and stays put under the vibration and torque that shop equipment generates every single day. Standard hex nuts can walk loose over time; the insert prevents that without any secondary locking method. That's the whole point of a lock nut, and this one does the job.

Steel construction with a corrosion-resistant coating means it holds up in a working shop environment without rust becoming a problem down the road. If you're doing a repair and need to replace a fastener, getting the correct part number matters -- off-spec hardware with the wrong thread engagement or insert fit will let you down faster than the original ever did. Coats equipment runs across a wide range of tire changers and balancers, and the 8181183 is the designated replacement fastener for that service work. It's stocked and ready to ship, so you're not waiting on a specialty order to get your machine back together. One nut. Right fit. Back in service.

No worries, we've got you covered. We can send replacement parts or arrange for a new delivery. Just make sure to inspect everything when it arrives and give us a heads up right away if something's off.

All the details are at the bottom of our site under Shipping & Return Policy. You'll find everything about returns, freight damage, and any brand-specific rules.

Most larger items like car lifts and heavy equipment ship free, but depending on the brand there might be freight costs. Smaller items almost always have shipping fees via UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc. We'll show you any extra costs before you check out.

Shipping estimates are just that — estimates, and they're not guaranteed. Weather, freight delays, and carrier issues can throw things off, especially with bigger items. If you're on a tight timeline for installation, it's smart to give yourself some wiggle room.

Yep! Once it ships, we'll email you the tracking info so you can keep tabs on your delivery and plan accordingly.

We always send tracking info once your order ships. If it's been more than five business days and you haven't heard anything, just shoot us a message at support@garagesupplyguys.com or hit us up through the Contact Us page. We'll figure out what's going on.

Make sure whatever you're buying will actually fit your space. That means checking ceiling height, floor space, power requirements, and whether freight delivery can even get to your location. Trust us, it's way easier to confirm these details upfront.

Read through the product details carefully, especially for heavy or specialized items. If you're not sure about fit, shipping, installation, or anything else, just ask. We'd rather help you get it right the first time.

Just reach out to us after your purchase and we'll connect you with trusted installers in your area. You can negotiate pricing and scheduling directly with them, or we can help coordinate the whole process for you.
