Why? I have no idea). I doubt that will lead to immediate catastrophic failure, but the washers go under the bolt heads for a reason, and I have to go back and re-do all 12 bolts. It makes me so mad, because if I'd stopped and thought about it, logic alone would compel me to put the washer under the bolt head. And I was so careful about everything else. Oh well, it could be worse ... at least it doesn't look like this anymore ...

Congratulations on a well presented job, nice write and fantastic pics on step-by-step procedures. Well done!!
Just one point to clarify regarding the washers on the bolts. As you can see from your picture before disassembly the washer either go under the bolt if the bolt goes first through the flex disk to screw on to the lobe of the shaft or axle/tranny.
Conversely, the washer goes under the nut when the bolt goes first through the lobe of the shaft or axle/tranny. The washer always goes resting on the flex disk and not on the lobe of the shaft or axle/tranny.
Here are pics of your flex/shaft before dismantling and one of my own flex that I need to replace soon (thanks to your efforts, write and pics it will be a lot easier for me). BTW, there is 6 grams of pertinent grease to go on the centering sleeves.
