Just a couple follow-up questions.....
If I understand correctly, the rear hub bearings are done similar to how the front spindle/hub bearings are done:
- Tighten the bearing nut down to recommended specs (50ft/lbs in the case of the Dana 70hd rear according to my service manual) while turning the hub.
- Back off the nut until loose enough to turn by hand but not exceeding 1-notch on the nut.
- Align the closest notch in the nut w/the keyway on the axle tube.
Sound right??
And....
The new-drum/rebuilt hub assemblys were re-installed over new brake shoes & hardware. The adjusting nut for the shoes on both sides are adjusted 100% in. There is zero drag on the pass side & moderate drag on the drivers side. I backed off the tension rod for the e-brake & it sure seems loose but there's still some drag @ the drum.
Am I missing something here as far as adjustment? I'm extra concerned because this side was the worst of the 2 as far as material remaining on the shoes (all friction material was gone & it was metal to metal contact before servicing).
