A vehicle wheel end assembly comprising a wheel hub, rotatably mounted on a wheel axle spindle by a wheel bearing s comprising a roller bearing. The wheel bearing has a bearing inner ring mounted on an external section of the wheel axle spindle and a bearing outer ring mounted in an internal section of the wheel hub. The assembly further comprises a threaded hub nut mounted at the end of the wheel axle spindle to fix the bearing inner ring on the wheel axle spindle and a rotational lock mechanism to prevent relative rotation between the bearing inner ring and the wheel axle spindle. The rotational lock mechanism comprises a tangential surface arranged to intersect a part of an inner circumference of the bearing inner ring at right angles to the axis of rotation in a plane located at or adjacent an outer radial end surface of the bearing inner ring.
