400/4 Wheel bearing questions ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I think I have identified the cause of my issue with the new lock ring - the old lock ring has four punch marks that look as though they were done during manufacture to lock it against the hub. The lock ring was removed by the wheel builders - it looks as if they have just undone it by force without drilling out the lock points so the old lock ring fits fine but the new lock ring is causing an issue on the hub where the corresponding lock points were. Then as Ken points out they are meant to be tight.
I still haven't found a Torque Setting for the lock rings only for the axle nut.
Bryanj:
Dont think there is one apart from BT mate, use a thread file to clean the threads in the hub

A thread file - I've not got one of those - any pointers please asside from a metric one do they come in pitch sizes?
I went to have another look at the rear wheel hub but came back inside after a few minutes it's turned cold here - I could feel my dam Angina starting to trip in so am back indoors.

Thats a bit crap Ted, get a brew in you and get warmed up. This is just an example, there are hundreds on there. Dead easy to use.

As far as I understand it there's no torque setting for the lock ring as it doesn't generate tensile or compressive load in itself.
As you find too, the torque to turn it can be variable once the wheel has been used, making absolute reference unreliable.
Essentially it needs the "staking" because it's not torqued, just positional accuracy.
If you drive the bearings in fully, then assemble the wheel/spacers/brake fully into the swing arm, then torque the spindle fully the wheel should not alter rotation resistance when you do. This will give confirmation that the whole assembly is correctly installed.
Further, if this did result in seating the main bearing slightly further in, then it is this final position that the retainer needs to tighten against to give competent rear wheel datum/alignment.
Si you can then fit the retainer correctly and secure it.
