I just want to make sure i got it right. I did a search on here and i have read it in the service manuel. So the lock nut and the axle nut have to be right up against eachother. exposing threads on the left side of the lock towards the disk break. even though i tighen the lock nut the lock nut and the axle nut together move from right to left a little. I can jiggle it back and forth is this normal???:confused: And what can happen if i ride and its lose?
