Fit the dust cover on the axle after thoroughly greasing it.
Fit the nyloc nut - note there is no washer as the nut is especially machined to fit
Tighten the nut up so that the wheel still turns freely - do not over tighten the nut or the
wheel may bind
Wipe off excess grease
Fit the wheel spat spacer, but first apply Loctite 243 to the axle's threads
When tightening the spacer, be sure not to also tighten the locknut. Brace the locknut
while tightening the spacer as shown below.
Check one last time to ensure that the wheel turns freely and quietly.
Also grab the wheel with two hands and check to see that there is no free movement of
the wheel along the axis.
