[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 103605, member: 456"] I think that I am missing something here. All the nut is doing is locking the main shaft, the bearing centre, the spacer inside the oil seal and the shoe carrier together so that they rotate as one. Where does any chaffing motion come from? The tang on the spring just stops the nut rotating and becoming loose. It is some time since I worked on this part of a twin but either there is something vital I have forgotten (entirely possible) or some of the rest of you are chasing problems which do not exist. As for how tight I make the C20; well I do not use a torque spanner on it but a foot to a foot and a half long socket handle probably mean that I am applying somewhere about 30 ft lbs, but it could be more if I've been eating meat. The Instruction Sheets might have a figure but I do not have them available at the moment. [/QUOTE]
