If I take the  rear axle right hand bolt of the ST as an example (which should be hammered to stuck),
it doesn't change so much.  It's something like 5 degrees. I don't change it either except if
the stucking crown is cracked. 

By the way this nut/axle and double-bearing assembly is a whole subject by itself. 
I am still wondering if the heavy torque applied on it is to adjust or not the double bearing play. As a matter 
of fact it does, but was it the intend of triumph guys. In this particular case, the axle elongate less than the
double inner cage of the bearing compress.
