[Healeys] Splines and Wheels

[David Porter]

OK.. one more time in case you all missed it. The tapered/chamfered 
mating surfaces must be liberally coated with grease (as well as the 
splines). I know we don't like any grease showing, but.. and while I'm 
at it the same goes for the door strikers and hinges.. use grease.
  And.. there should not be any movement. Movement is what ruins the 
splines..
