1938/39 back axle
Hi all. the left hand thread nut that holds the dual purpose bearing onto the pinion has a lock washer with an internal tab that sits in a groove in the thread of the pinion. Would you but the tab facing backwards under the bearing or forwards under the nut? The tab does not seem to want to go all the way in under the bearing (my initial thought of correct way round). My thinking is that if tab is under nut it could get pulled round when undoing/tightening nut and jamb in nut thread and pinion thread.
