– Release or tighten nut by applying less or more pressure on
the washer -arrow-, and simultaneously check its radial move‐
ment with light pressure of your index applied on a screwdriv‐
er.

WARNING
The screwdriver should touch only the washer and never the
outer roller bearing of the wheel.
Never rotate or leverage with the screwdriver, assuring that the
screwdriver does not touch the brake drum hub on no account.
If the notes above are not strictly followed, the adjustment of
bearing end clearance will be jeopardized (it can lead to noises
and breakage of bearings).

index applied on a screwdriver.

After removed, the cotter pin must be replaced.
