Assuming the setup is the same as my BT7, the shims go between the =
distance piece and the outer bearing. The heavy washer goes on the =
outside of the bearing. If you are putting the shims on the outside of =
the outer bearing, they will not do anything (other than make you see =
stars). The idea is to increase/decrease the distance between the inner =
and outer bearings so that they run freely on the outer races with no =
play and no pre-load. I only have 2-3 shims each side. If you are =
assembling in the correct order, the number of shims indicates something =
else is wrong, perhaps a bearing not seater correctly, outer races not =
seater properly, a PO buggering up the distance piece =E2=80=93 any =
number of issues. If the setup on the BN2 is substantially different =
to the BT7, I am sure someone on the list will reveal my ignorance, and =
you can ignore my advice.

I'd like to say fitting the splined hubs to the front spindles of =
this disc brake conversion for my BN2 has got me seeing stars. I did =
not take it apart, so I have no idea what to start with for the number =
or size of shims to torque it down with 40-70 ft lbs and still have free =
rotation but no end play. I started out with one .020 shim added to one =
.030, added to one .010 added to one .005 and one .003 shim. A total =
of 5 shims. The hub locks up at 40 ft lbs of torque on the nut, so I =
added an identical stack on top of the first five shims. We are talking =
.136 thickness in shims total and it still locks up at 40 ft lbs. This =
is where I stopped at about midnight last night. I had enough for =
tonight. I am going back after it tomorrow, but I am running out of =
shims. I have to order more to do the passenger side. Nobody told me =
how many shims I might need when putting this together with all new =
parts and never having disassembled it in the first place. By the way, =
the instructions that a few of you on the list gave me for soing this =
job had me a little confuse. The illustration of the two bearings, =
distance piece, shims, tabbed washer and castellated nut assembled =
without the splined hub for illustration purposes has an arrow at the =
bottom of the illustration pointed at the surfaces between the distance =
piece and the inside of the out bearing race. It says 12 shims here! =
You can clearly see in the picture the shims directly behind the tabbed =
washer. I started saying bad words when I saw that. I still have at =
least two of every size shim left, but I ma not sure even that will be =
enough. I can tell you one thing, if I ever have to turn the rotors =
again in the future, you can damn bet they will be turned in place. =
There, I feel better now. (Not really!)
