Wheel installation is easy, just follow the order in the photo.

You could put some thread lock on the outside nut, but with the end cap, its probably not going to work itself off, especially if you tighten it down to the other nut.

Before putting on the end cap, cut the end off the threaded rod leaving about a 1/2 inch extension beyond the outside nut. The cap will cover this.

Don't tighten the nuts onto the washer because it binds up the bearing and the wheel doesn't rotate smoothly. Instead make it snug and tighten the bolts to each other.
