                      a certain logic to it - except the o-ring does the
                      actual sealing, correct?<br>
                      <br>
                      Is this the idea: when we tighten the lug nuts, we
                      compress the gasket from, say .014" to .010". At
                      .010, the axle center makes contact with the
                      spacer ring and bearing, coming to a stop. There
                      is then .010" between the carrier and axle flange.
                      The gasket takes up the slack - is the compressed
                      gasket strong enough to in effect be a shim
                      between these two parts?<br>
                      <br>
                      Michael - maybe when extra-tightening of the lug
                      nuts, the axle flange is also bending slightly to
                      take up this gap.<br>

                      Betcha I'm over-thinking this! :-)<br>

                      question<br>
                      &gt;  Sent: Jan 26 '15 11:28<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt;  One other observation on this subject.<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt;  This is, I believe, the only place on a
                      Healey where 'conical" seat nuts<br>
                      &gt;  are used.<br>
                      &gt;  It has been my experience that conical seat
                      nuts always require re-torquing<br>
                      &gt;  after a little  use. Just like the lug nuts
                      on your every day driver if<br>
                      &gt;  you torque them up, then drive the car for a
                      bit you will find that the<br>
                      &gt;  nuts will take up to half a turn just to
                      restore them to the original<br>
                      &gt;  torque.<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt;  That said however I do have to agree with
                      Chris regarding aggressive use.<br>
                      &gt;  On AHX12 we found it necessary to re-torque
                      those nuts after every day of<br>
                      &gt;  competition and they would always go on an
                      additional flat or so.. I always<br>
                      &gt;  wondered where that extra tightening room
                      came from because after a week of<br>
                      &gt;  Targa Newfoundland we would have tightened
                      the nuts at least one full turn<br>
                      &gt;  ... that's 0.055".<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt;<br>
                      &gt;  I "forgot" to mention to co-driver Michael O
                      that a likely cause was<br>
                      &gt;  stretching of the studs..:-).<br>

                      &gt;  &gt;  I have not tried it but I doubt it. On
                      the three axles I have actual<br>
                      &gt;  &gt;  experience with the gasket needed to
                      be Approx. 0.004" thick so that<br>
                      &gt;  the<br>
                      &gt;  &gt;  spacer met the specified tolerances in
                      the workshop manual. The<br>
                      &gt;  gaskets I<br>
                      &gt;  &gt;  purchased were all approx. 0.010"
                      thick. That would be a lot of<br>
                      &gt;  squish. You<br>
                      &gt;  &gt;  would have to squish it without the
                      bearing spacer in place. Then<br>
                      &gt;  remove<br>
                      &gt;  &gt;  the axle &amp; measure how much the
                      spacer stood proud of the gasket. Then<br>
