Cb550 front wheel
Towsejames:
I’m putting my front wheel back together after fitting new bearings but I think the brake disc bolts have been put on incorrectly.
I have fitted these nuts as they work with the lock washers (already fitted). However I have looked at pics online which looks like the original nuts don’t use lock washers. Before I had the original nuts which I plan to reuse. Am I correct in thinking no lock washers are meant to be used? The originally nuts have like a flat bottom which wouldn’t allow a lock washer to be bent over to lock. Can anyone help?

Depends on exact year and frame number, early bikes used lock washers later flanged nuts, both fit exactly the same
Towsejames:
Are the flanged nuts lock nuts? I just can’t see any locking mechanism on them

Dont think so just torqued to spec

Why is one locktab twisted around? I would take that off and tap it straight.
