Chris, I've always shimmed the distance piece and torqued to 45 lb/ft initially, then tighten further to line up the first available cotter pin hole. I think the distance piece adds rigidity to the spindle, although there are those who say it's not required with the tapered bearings. I would rather err on the side of caution. It's my butt in the seat, after all.

Wow, thought you were going to be gone all week?
 
I was - but I've gotta get to work on the GRM car!
