Re: 87 front wheel bearings
I see you replaced the bearings, have to ask, the races also?
I generally pack the heck out of the bearings with HI-temp grease, then instal the hub, packing more grease in, start turning the wheel as I snug up the nut .
It's done by feel but snug then back up to the next spot where the cotter pin can go in. The bearings are made to have a slight amount of play, what that translate to measurement wise I have no idea.
Not having the races square will do it too. From dirt or a small burr , if the races aren't seated right the bearings won't last.
