I think this is how it's meant to work: the inner half of the race slides on. The outer half threads onto the stub axle somewhat tightly, but doesn't get cranked down, then the bolt is threaded into it. The bolt presses up on the stub axle and locks the outer half of the race.
If there wasn't such a bolt, I'm not sure how you'd lock the outer half of the race in place.
Definitely a bit weird.
Does the dust cap fit over the bolt arrangement?sigpic

I agree that solution is a bit weird, especially considering the fact that the factory torque spec for the front nut is a little over 200 ft/lbs and the bearing needs that torque in order to be proper and not wobble about at speed...I really don't see how a smaller bolt tightening against the nut and spindle end will suffice.-Nick

Ok, so got more info, the bearing-holding nut has to be tightened the same as stock one, ie 210 ft/lbs, where as the M16x1.5LH nut - is a locking nut, it is tightened in the other direction. The manufacturer told me that most people don't even use the locking-nut, they just glue the bearing nut, but just to be sure they recommend using the locking nut.Comment
