Reply to "Axle problem?"

But, the axle and the flange have a bit of play within the splines, just ever so slight. When the nut is torqued to specs is that a solid assembly with absolutely no movement? And finally where can I rent that special spanner wrench?[/B]

The splines is not a playfree fit. The spline engagement should take a seat to the "driveside" of the spline. Then the flange should remain in this location due to the pressure load of the nut. The nut is of a locking type, so you can not turne it without tools even if loose. If you can move the flange on the axle, the nut does NOT have the proper torque. A loose nut also speeds up the axle wear against the bearing race. Chack that the weel does not bave any radial play in the outer bearing.
