Installation notes
Installation requires specialist tools and knowledge of differential adjustment. The nut must be tightened to the prescribed torque whilst simultaneously checking bearing preload. Insufficient preload causes play and wear, excessive preload damages the bearings. On modern designs with collapsible spacer, the nut must NEVER be loosened after tightening. Consult the technical manual for exact specifications.
