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

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.
