How tight should the front axle-nut be torqued on my BN1?   The manual states
that the nut should be tightened until a slightly increased resistance is felt
when the hub is turned.  The manual goes on to state that the cotter pin is
next inserted, after pre-loading.

No torque value is specified. What is the proper number?
If the nut does not line up with the hole in the axle, should it be further
tightened until the pin can be inserted?  Or should the nut be loosened until
alignment occurs?

Many thanks,
Ben
