Adjusting plate

Greetings

I dissembled the right drive unit on a crown RC5530, and removed the adjusting plate, that I thing adjusted the drive axle preload????

It is threaded , turns 360 degrees , and has two locking set screws.

What is the proper way to adjust this plate, it is not covered in the coustomer manual.

Are you talking about the wheel hub with the five studs that the wheel bolts to? This has a castellated nut that secures it with two cap screws. The locking nut is torqued to 542 NM (400ftlb). As long as you haven't removed the wheel hub you should be ok as it needs to be heated to 200 degrees C (400f) before fitment and the nut immediately fitted to the correct torque.

He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
