It will depend on the application to how they are set up, some applications use shims to set the pre load, others are brought to zero and then backed off a bit (usually to the next cotter pin slot) and use a cotter pin to maintain pre load, don't forget to torue it down to at least 100ft # to start if you installed new bearing races, and then back it off, this will insure that the races are seated fully |
