English term or phrase: over / over the end
Context: Replacement of a drive nut in a mechanical wiping system
Slide the one end of the wiper assembly over the drive screw.
Place the lock washer over the end of the drive screw.
Nel primo caso ho tradotto: Far scorrere la parte del gruppo pulente lungo la vite di trasmissione.
Nel secondo caso pensavo a: Infilare la rosetta di fissaggio sulla vite di trasmissione. Voi che ne dite? Grazie per l'aiuto.

bè si, "in fondo" mi dà più l'idea di qualcosa che viene inserito dentro la vite.. in genere in questi casi, cerco di attenermi al testo in modo letterale. cmq, credo vada bene. ciao

Notes to answerer
Asker: mmmmmhh. potrebbe andare, ma mi sembra troppo alla lettera. E se dicessi: "..... in fondo alla vite di trasmissione". Resta il fatto che la rosetta va infilata sulla vite (ossia, la vite passa attraverso la rosetta) e non applicata sopra la vite. Che ne dici?
