You can find those things on Ebay in all sorts of diameters and thicknesses. I'd choose one about 30 to 40 thousandths thick, and as close a fit to the bolt as possible. You'll get more sealing area that way than simply relying on some kind of moose juice on the threads.
Torque- - - -the bolt has a tapered snout that engages a locking groove in the bearing race, IIRC, and it needs to be snug, but not tight enough to distort things- - - -maybe 20-25 ft/lbs or so? Get the locknut TIGHT, like 50-55. Jerry
