Rear wheel reinstallation - tight rotation

millerandy said:

It was a struggle to get them all three in, but I eventually squeezed them together with the help of 3 C-clamps, Then tightened the spindle to seat all three a solid as I could. It's almost impossible to see in between the hub and brake housing after pressing everything together but I'm pretty certain they're all seated. Like I said, everything fit easily afterwards, including the wide spacer that gives a lot of people headaches.

Yes, I've actually got less than that. I'm thinking the tangs and cush rubbers might eventually seat snug over time with the continuous pressure. I'll check periodically whether I can get more torque on the spindle without binding the wheel. Right now it spins with little effort but not freely.

In post 16 Andy is talking about the dogs in the speedo drive gear which engage slots on the hub, NOT the cush rubbers. Re difficulty installing the wheel - the difficulty will go away rather quickly after riding. When I put new cush rubbers in mine I had to use clamps to insert the wheel. A month or two later it was no issue at all - no clamps or anything required to remove/reinstall wheel..
