A nut assembly (10) for engaging an externally threaded bolt (12). Nut assembly (10) includes a cylindrical casing (16) and a nut (20) secured to cylindrical casing (16) projects a substantial distance from cylindrical casing (16) to permit rotation of nut assembly (10) by a suitable conventional wrench. Three internally threaded arcuate segments (28) are mounted within cylindrical casing (16) to engage external screw threads (14) on bolt (12). Detents (40) are formed integrally with cylindrical body (16) and project radially inwardly of the inner peripheral surface (24) of cylindrical casing (16). Detents (40) fit in grooves (41) in segments (28) to connect segments (28) for rotation with cylindrical body (16) and cap (20).
