Stupid advice please

You can get a special tool for it. I have one!
But there probably pretty hard to get hold of!!
Tighten the slotted race cover and check it spins freely and is perfect for use.
Then stick on the the lock washer and nut.
When you tighten the lock nut use a screwdriver in the slotted race cover to stop it tightening while you tighten the lock nut.
In effect you a tightening the slotted race cover against the lock nut.
This will keep the slotted race cover and lock nut from undoing (due to pressure between the two) and will stop the slotted race cover from tightening and making the crank movement shite!

my angle grinder tool just happens to be a perfect fit for 1pc's too. handy because i never use it on the grinder. well at least it has a purpose now :LolLolLolLol:
it sound's too tight, or you have the bearings upside down but that would be very obvious me thinks. even for a novice ???

Your problem is your lock nut is not tightening against your slotted race cover.
Its actually causing the slotted race cover to turn along with the lock nut so its tightening everything up.
When you tighten the lock nut, use a slotted screwdriver to brace the slotted race cover so that it wont tighten any further while the lock nut is tightening against the slotted race cover.
The force of the lock nut and slotted race cover when they are tightened up against themselves will prevent them from coming loose and from them both turning and tightening the crank and making the movement shabby.
So you are effectively tightening the slot race cover to the lock nut.
Take your crank out and try it. They will both be fixed in that position. They wont come loose. They wont turn both turn and tighten the crank or loosen the crank.

Good call, another tip is to gently tap the slotted race back against the lock nut :daumenhoch:

Its the friction between the Slotted race and the lock nut which lock them firmly into place!! ;)
