James,

I know this does not answer your question, but of the 17 front axles I have taken apart over time, I do not recall ever having seen where the castel nuts were ever on the inside of the front brake housings...always on the outside.

Maybe the reason it is not addressed, is that the assembly of the nuts and bolts is the "norm", but I agree with you that it should be addresed also.

Can you think of other types of "assemblies" that could be either/or (not to hyjack the thread)?
