I haven't touched very many Vanagon spindles, but the ones I have touched
had at least some thread damage that I attributed to the removing of the
peened nut (not me - some DPO). I also like the idea of being able to easily
tweak the bearing adjustment anytime. I know, you shouldn't need to, but I
tend to drive vehicles hundreds of thousands of miles.
