Scott:
Randal is correct. The trunnion shaft does cut grooves in new washers. Be
sure to tighten both sides equally as you pull the washers onto the serrated
section. This will prevent the trunnion shaft from moving off center.

I believe the trunnion shaft cuts/forms the grooves as you tighten down the
nut.
