Super-A ?...esp. Scotty or Banjo

F/U to my "Super A Mystery" post-

You gentlemen saw the picture of the lost-washer-in-the-pan from my other post. I believe it is an axle-washer that had been dropped in the pan and never retrieved. My parts-book shows TWO washers, which 'sandwich' the inner bearing, however they have different part-numbers, and I assume are thus different. So I cannot tell which washer is the one I found.

Here is a picture of what's under the inner cover of that right axle. I can see a washer against the bearing that has the same outer diameter as the lost washer. I don't know if there is a washer on the other side of the bearing. So it may or may not be properly re-assembled. As the axle must be "driven out", and as I have been driving it without problem, I'm not going to disassemble now.

The answer I need now:

My 'parts' book doesn't show the BOLT. I expected a castellated nut with a cotter pin, to adjust the bearing/axle looseness. Instead, I find a 'bolt'-head. Thus, I'm now assuming that the bearing adjustment must be done with that 'lugged'-spacer, and then the bolt torqued down.
Is this correct? I don't want to put any stress on the bearing from over-tightening, but I don't want to leave the bolt loose either, if it's supposed to be tight. And since that bolt is currently un-torqued, should I remove that tire to have a better 'feel' for the bearing adjustment?

Appreciate your time.

There's supposed to be a washer UNDER the bearing. The service manual specifically warns to be sure it is in place on a reassembly. I'll bet my washer dropped into the pan when the axle was last out, and that is exactly where it belongs. I won't know until I remove the axle.

Dang.

There's no numbers on the loose washer/spacer, so who knows. Guess I'll take out the axle. I gotta know if the inner spacer is there, or not.
