A wheel assembly (200) includes a split wheel, a nut (260), and bolt (250). The split wheel comprises a first wheel portion (201) and a second wheel portion (202), and the nut (260) comprises a first portion (261) and a second portion (262). The first portion (261) of the nut comprises a thrust face (263) engaging the split wheel, the nut defines a bore extending through both the first portion (261) and the second portion (262), the bore in the first portion (261) is nonthreaded, and the bore in the second portion (262) is threaded. Further, the bolt extends through the first wheel portion and the second wheel portion, with a threaded end (252) of the bolt extending through the first portion of the nut and being coupled to the second portion of the nut. The effective bending length of the bolt is greater than the clamped length of the bolt.
