of a wrench applying a hand effort to the wrench tommy bar 300-
350 mm long until the wheel is rotated with difficulty (Fig. 55).
When tightening the nut, apply the effort to the tommy bar

the locking washer, screw in and tighten the locknut.
Replace the washer if some cracks on the tabs of the locking
washer are detected.

lock-nut. If the adjustment is correct, the wheel should rotate
freely, without binding noticeable axial play and wobbling.
