I cannot understand the set up with the rear hub when the hub tightens because it looks like the hub bottoms out on the wheel bearing. The nut gets torqued at 100lb on the axle and seems to hit the bearing for the stop. I was looking at the back edge of hubs and they look scared from hitting the bearing. the cut edge seems to mirror the side of the bearing.
This is the old hub style with a split wedge tapered washer and maybe that wedge should stop the hub from going inside enough far enough to hit the bearing. I do not know. It seems wrong to me and my thoughts are to grind some off the hub, so it does not hit, maybe that little ridge. I probably have this flipped this in my head wrong. Any thoughts—I do not want to grind that little bit--- I need a way to measure the pressure on the bearing? Or just tighten it down to 100lbs and call it good????
