It has a serated washer built on the nut. It is fine thread. You might remove one off the 3/4th or 1/2 lever to be sure the threads are ok, then , take the nut up to a parts store and get another. Some people use a regular nut and a lock washer and it does fine.They come off with a 1/2 inch wrench. I'm thinking, but can't remeber, that it's a 6/16ths bolt fine thread SAE
