Well i lube and adjusted my chain today,but when adjusted i got mix up well not really just

.I looseing the shaft then use the small adjuster nut and adjust it to .9 inch chain slack which was all good until i started puting everything back to tight.I tighting up the adjuster nuts,then stuck a 17mm on the left side of the axle and a 24mm on the right side of the axle nut with the cotter pin and to spec 80ftlb.This is where i got

the cotter pin did not line up so i tighten it up alittle more to line up the pin and the hole in the bolt dose this mean i over tighten it.I took it for a ride everything seem fine no rear sway.

p.s why if i did not have the socket on the 17mm left side would the right side almost seem loose,but as soon as i put the 17mm back on and tryed to tq it it was tight

Maybe i am over thinking things
