Hi Lads.
Looks like we are all on the same page, with the high point of the washer to the nut. It sort of makes sense with an Aluminium rotor, as you would want the most surface area on the Aluminium, as apart from it acting as a wedge if it was the other way. This was how it was when I pulled it apart, but like I said, I would rather get it right than have it all turn to crap! When I got the nut off, there was no visible evidence of any sealant/locker. I thought I would try and torque it up to manual spec once it was altogether. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to the 176N.m in the book! Once I got the Starter motor back in and gave it a test, the Rotor had a small wobble, so I slackened it all off. It wasn't a lot, and couldn't be seen when turning it all by hand. I have had a look in the Parts manual, and according to that, there is a thrust washer (3 different sizes available) on the crank shaft, but I assume this is on the internal side? Should there be anything between the Rotor and the flywheel, such as item 2 in G's picture of the Strada? (again, sorry for being tedious!)
G: I like that table of Loctite products! Plain language and easy to read. You keep coming up with the good stuff! Again, your patience and ability to help is amazing (you too Higgy!).
Hey du907. What a mess! Warning noted. I think dose of loctite and the lower end of the torque setting is the way to go.
I've attached a picture of the sprag spring (I'm not the best Photographer!). I estimate its about 10mm bigger than it needs to be. The sprags hadn't fallen out, but they were close. Unfortunately the seals I got have a thicker spring, so the new sprag has its original spring. Hopefully its better than the OEM!
Again, thank you all for your input.
Cheers.
Nick.
