Is there a trick to keeping the inner spindle nut from spinning as you torque down the outer nut? And yes my inner nut still has the little metal nub on it so that is not the problem.

Another way is a spanner wrench.
You have a very valid point there. Other than that modification you mentioned in your above post, is there any other way? Or do we have to just continually check the tightness once a week if you're not a welder/fabricator?
If the lock washer is doing it's job, why is the inner nut spinning? I've never had this problem, even with the nub (the pin on the inner nut) missing .
For awhile I was taking those washers and simply bending them into an oval ever so slightly using a vise so that the tab would stick down in the groove further, but I recall after a few times doing this I finally broke one and came to the conclusion they are pretty brittle.
