The AN070 washer goes on the securing bolt after the rodend and is located between the rodend and the locking nut. If the bearing assembly fails, as in it comes out of the housing, The housing is captured by the washer. If the same failure occurs without the AN970 washer, the housing with the pushrod attached will slip right over the securing nut. Check it out on the "Little Beast" and it will become perfectly clear. Larry Flesner
