The short bent tab fits in the spindle slot and one of the nut slots to lock the nut in place. Ford Identification number is 3B549. Tech Note 2: ReplaceIf you find ANY damage or wear to your existing Hub Keys, replace them! Hub Lock Keys are the only part that keeps your spindle nuts from coming off when you are driving! Back in the days when I was a line mechanic, I made it a policy to install new locks anytime I had the wheel hubs off. It is pretty cheap insurance against losing a hub and wheel assembly.
