The nut that is on the axle is the one you need to use. Looks like an eliminator style axle. Losen the lock screw on the nut, loosen the nut, then inside the nut you will see a snap ring. Remove the snap ring and the nut slides off the axle. The nut tightens against the snap ring to hold stuff on. Quote

Some of them didn't have the lock screw through the nut. Its an early model. The nut is threaded on the inside and when you turn the nut the internal portion moves against a snapring that sits recessed inside the nut. To get to the snapring to remove it you have to spin the nut in place. The nut will not come off until the snapring is removed. I've done a bunch of these... Quote
