Torque for axle banjo and torque tube bolts
#13
Just thought I would see if I can add a photo to the forum and at the same time show the use of one of my small Austin spanners.  The wife assisting!


Reference the front end of the torque tube ball joint and castellated adjusting ring.  I have assumed that the two bolts are put in from the front so the head is trapped against the casing and the nut tightens onto the ring.  How is the nut locked to prevent it turning and slackening off?  I had two tab washers but suspect they were too small as the turned over flat bit hardly spanned the opening if the castellation and anyway the washer just turned out of place as I tightened down the nut.  In the end I peened one edge of the flat into the opening to stop the washer turning, added a plain washer, tightened and flattened the rest of the tab onto the top of the castellation.  I have also added a second nut and locked it against the first one.
So what was the original method of locking the nut??
