Hi Sean, Here is a picture of what the peened nut looks like: http://volksweb.relitech.com/tech/frntbrg/rotor2.jpg I use a dull cold chisel to make the indentation. A complete writeup is online at: http://volksweb.relitech.com/frntbrg.htm Have fun!

Ok I am ready to install a new disc on each front axel. After reviewing Bently one thing still perplexes me... How does one "peen" the front axel nut? Hit it with a hammer but where, in the middle, on the end, with a pin of some sort to direct the blow... ???? Sean Garrett 1981 Westy (his) 1995 Eurovan Camper (hers) sean.garrett@asu.edu |
