Try a hint before revealing the answer

Open one hint at a time to preserve some of the challenge.

Hint 1

Assume the washer is meant to travel through a deliberate clearance rather than being forced over a larger diameter.

Hint 2

Explore changes in the nut and washer orientation before applying any pulling force.

How to use the preserved instructions

Lay the pieces out in the same orientation as the component key. Work through the numbered stages in order and keep the assembly loose until the final locking movement.
