Well, to be more constructive than critical...

Tightening torques:

Transmission nut: 325 Nm

Wheels with 90 Nm steel rim(s)

Wheels with 100 Nm aluminum rim(s)

and thanks for the tutorial!

Hello, thanks for the tutorial,

I have the nut cover washer, with the pin (Step 1) which has play, and which makes a slight noise when I ride (even when stopped while turning the wheel), the pin shifts a little from its axis.

Do you know if it is possible to find only this washer? I have reshaped it a little to avoid the noise with the pliers but it will certainly not last, and I imagine that it is strongly advised not to remove it.

Thank you in advance for your reply,

Thank you very much for dedicating your time to this tutorial full of well-explained images…

I know few DIYers (in the good sense of the term) who undertighten... Good tutorial.

No tightening torque, this is an intervention that requires user safety. Your tutorial is very amateurish, you should show the correct procedure to follow.
