Steve,

The way I do it is to tighten the nut with a wrench while spinning the 
hub. Tighten the nut until it is snug, then back it off until it is 
loose. Next, tighten it finger tight, and check to see if either of the 
holes in the spindle line up with a space in the nut. If one does, put 
the cotter pin in. If not, loosen the nut until you are able to get the 
cotter pin in.

Peace,
Pat

> i'm putting my hubs back together.  and i'm wondering, because i could not find it in the service manual, what is the convention for tightening that nut?  the one on the end of the spindle, through which the cotter pin goes.  is it tightened to a certain torque?  i have no idea really.
