The hub bolt has to be perfectly clean as well! Just cleaning one side does not do much good.

Sandwich then takes a HARDENED structural washer and bores the center out to 1 inch to go over the shoulder on the hub washer. You have to use carbide tooling to cut the washer. The washer will just laugh at high speed steel.

We like red loctite. I think they call it red because you will see red if you ever have to take it off! It sticks like mad. Maybe they call it red so you don't have to see red when your parts fall off if you forgot to use it.

Next,
Press the drive flange on. Put the new, hardened washer on the bolt and put in the hub bolt. Leave the stupid "lock tab thingy" OUT! Put it on the wall so you can impress your friends with your cool original Cobra parts.

Next bolt on the caliper with those special, cool bolts. Don't forget the washers!!! And, if you are doing the entire car, don't get the front bolts mixed up with the rear bolts. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!!!
