This discussion reminds me of my old 1968 Westy where the rear brake drums
were cast with a splined hub, slipped over the stub axle, and tightened by
this nut.  What fun brake jobs were.  I had to rent a 3/4" drive electric
wrench, buy a socket, loosen the nut a turn or two, replace the cotter pin,
and drive around the block in both directions to bust them loose.

Dumb design.

Thanks Alistair and Ed for the torque sequence and what gets squished and
what does not.
The mental image of looking at the assembly as a large bolt with nut holding
the various inner-races/sleeves firmly together .
