 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.
