New nuts and washers arrived from Canley's , usual excellent service .
comparison photo below , but detail is interesting.
washer thickness existing = 4.98 , new Canleys = 3.8 , difference = 1.18
nut height existing = 14.47, new Canleys =14.0., difference = 0.47
but significant difference in nyloc position and depth by approx 1.5 mm
so with canley set up i have additional 3.15 thread protrusion into the nyloc.
as per my previous post I had considered really thin nylocs , but not sure that they would withstand torque applied
With existing I can screw nut all the way with no prevailing torque , but with new set up I can feel nyloc resistance well before grounding.
So I have torqued up new set up and see how we go Sunday.
But I suspect the real issue is the shaft threads
, Can someone confirm that shafts should be threaded to the end because both of mine are not . So I did not suspect anything wrong. I always wondered why the WSM said to protect the threads when removing hub , cos i dont have any on the end to damage
I therefore suspect that over the yrs previous work has resulted in thread damage and they have been cleaned up to allow nut fitment and compromised the thread engagement.
Can anybody confirm my suspicions
below is previous photo I have of other side which is in similar condition but holds torque and as best I can get on the problem side without taking wheel off
