400/4 Wheel bearing questions ?
K2-K6:
Just to add, if there were a torque setting for the ring, then that could be achieved without it closing in the bearing fully and making it likely to move in use.

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.

I follow your logic there I think that's a darn good idea. Ted
K2-K6:
How did that "Si" sneak in there ? ;D must be Italian spelling correction :D
Obviously shoul be so.

Thread files tend to have all the different pitches on them and are very easy to use and usefull for damaged welded on studs

Okay what size thread file will I need all I know about the rear lock ring is it's about 54.7mm o/d with a 1.5 mm pitch?
The file in the link from Laverdaroo seems to show 8 thread sizes on a 4 sided tool - ah it's double ended.
