The onetime use is info I missed when I did mine as I reused mine; so far no issues. I have no front balance disc.

Hmm... I see what you mean after studying the manual for the W126. It wouldn't surprise me about missing that self locking cap. There were many pieces of hardware I discovered missing after the shop "repair". From the FSM, this appears to be just a friction fit sleeve. Is this correct?
The front balance disc, for those that have it, just needs to be installed according to the markings. (The arrow on the vibration dampner has to point to the hump on one leg of the three legged flange.)
