Re: Rear axle shaft nut, how to turn on
That was checked. The face downside is fine smooth.
Thanks!

Re: Rear axle shaft nut, how to turn on
What is the piece of leather for on the axle?

Re: Rear axle shaft nut, how to turn on
Hello Bob,
I asked myself that several times. I did not find any literature / pictures about it. On both sides was between the drive shaft and the hub end 1 disc leather, 1 wafer-thin disc steel, 1 leather disc. I renewed the thin leather discs. I think that's because of the rotating contact surface between the hub and the axle housing?

Re: Rear axle shaft nut, how to turn on
Maybe the inner axle seal is not good or missing?

Re: Rear axle shaft nut, how to turn on
Hello Katy,
I suspect that this could be a shield from the dirt to the lubrication hole? It was missing also below the lubricating nipple. The wheel bearings do not need to be greased again when modern lifetime lubricating grease has been used. The thin steel thrust washer shines like a mirror. Thus, the hub has pressed against the stub axle during the rotation. I'll put it together again, it can not hurt.
