Not the first to have something like that happen
Hi Scott
Thanks for sharing, your not the first person to have this happen to or the last, so the lesson is a good one for the rest of us. Think about those keepers, wheel cotter pins etc. I've been using stainless steel cotter pins but now you make me wonder and make me think about all the critical torque locations that I've used them.
Speaking of keepers has anybody found a source for off the shelf nut keepers for CMPs. I'm getting tired of cutting out keepers out of sheet steel, little easier now with a plasma cutter but still takes time.
Cheers Phil
