JW, the major problem with doing it your way is that the rotational torque of tightening just the outer nut without holding the inner is that it stresses the metal keyway tab on the perforated ring and ultimately it can fail (as you can see in post #2 of this thread) which isn't all that uncommon to find.
O_D, agreed. One must be careful doing it the way I described. My method has worked - first time in 2006 and again in 2015. Next time I will find a way to hold the inner nut while tightening the outer one. One must be careful not to learn something new each day.
I also want to mention that when I first got the car in 2006 I discovered that there were no cotter pins installed, just the outer nuts tightened against the inner ones!
