Seems legit, I would have marked the LHS pivot bolt with a sharpie to confirm it didn't move while doing the lock-nut...

Do they not use actual sentences in Ireland?

Just remember - install and torque the rear wheel in place before you torque the 4 nuts on the final drive.
Otherwise you will not be able to turn the rear wheel as it will not be lined up properly.

That's stream of consciousness writing.
@BigBrakes, you mentioned grease. You do know you are supposed to use moly paste on the splines and not grease, don't you? Consensus here is that Loctite 8012 works well, as do other pastes with the appropriate moly content.
