On the spring shackle end the lock nuts and spring washer assembly on dismantling from inside out was 1, lock nut, 2, spring washer, 3 lock nut. However Woodrow shows assembly as 1, spring washer, 2, lock nut, 3, lock nut. My personal opinion is that the Woodrow method would be best as otherwise the nuts are not locking against each other. I would be grateful for other opinions please.
Since the purpose of any spring washer with the lock nuts is to prevent them moving against each other it is arguable that it is not needed, but if used it should be between the nuts.
