I hope your wheels are post recall so you do not lose the fine work you've done!
My question to you is how did you settle on the method of measuring the actual preload? Where did you get the values and the technique? If I read your notes correctly you have assembled the axle into the wheel and used the torque wrench to measure the turning force?
Have you considered using the "pull scales" method? It seems that using the torque wrench (you measured to get the range to 21-42 INCH-OUNCES, right?) on the nut is a far easier way to obtain measurement, but then why would Fleischer not suggest that approach? Just curious about your reasoning here.
