Yeah I had to go back and look. Yours could be the locking nuts coming loose like the other member said. Or you could have lost the C-clip that goes between the hub and the lock out. The C-clip should be on the axle shaft.

Well, it was just the snap ring that popped off. Quick, inexpensive fix. Thanks again!

Replace the snap ring. They wear out and get loose. This could happen again.

Will do. It didn't seem to have a lot of spring left in it.
