To assemble the caster fork with screwed
axle, this is inserted into the caster wheel
bearing block with the caster wheel for rotary
axle. Then the M12 nut (AF 19 mm) is tight-
ened again to 3 Nm and secured with thread-
locking fluid. Then the aluminium cap is
pressed back onto the caster wheel bearing

In case more sluggishness is desired, this can
be achieved using a higher tightening torque.
