Doyle, My guess would be right side install to allow easier access while on the kick stand. Just a guess though.

looks good to me, that is basically a threaded cup on the left side of the axle that threads into the rest of the rod coming from the right side. Look at bikebandit.com and you will see what I mean.

Never hurts to check that torque if you have a torque wrench handy.

You know the pilots code.."In GOD we trust, everything else we check".

(boy, have I lived by that.
