Finally, assemble the last spike disk hub and two 3/4" washers onto the axle and push the end of the axle on through the second end plate. See figure 3.

Drive a spring pin into the hole in the end of the axle, stopping before it hits the end plate. The spring pins secure the axle in the frame and also prevent the axle from rotating. See figure 3.
