Fsa megaexo crankset is loose
I'm pretty sure I'm not missing any pieces. I did remove the crankset to get a shift cable through.
Trying to reassemble it, I cannot get the crank arm to fully set. There is a tiny amount of play. I cannot torque it any more. I have looked and I do not believe that the threads are damaged. But there is like a mm of play in the crankset.
Help?

It is a fsa bb6200. 24mm
It looks like there is a "wavy washer that is missing.
Which side is the wavy washer supposed to be on?

This subject, wavy washer, was just in a thread. You do need a wavy washer, it goes on the non-drive side. I got it backwards in the mentioned thread, googled the crank set and found a Park Tool video, maybe on youtube, that shows step by step installation, very good.

Yes it needs a wavy washer but I change the crank on my Wilier from an FSA mego expo to a Shimano Hollowtech with external BB. It was a Wilier with a threaded BB and I wish I had done it years earlier a much better set up and crank. Shimano external BB and cranks are hard to beat for easy install and not much if any maintenance. For the price of the crank and BB worth every penny spent.
