Need some fast help
Just finished inner and outer bearings - how much resistance should i get when I spin it by grabbing a lug bolt? It turns but can anybody explain about how much?
When I turn mine it goes around once. (Wheel is off) Front wheel. |

Re: Need some fast help
Nevermind, I found it on the board searching. The castle nuts on my front bearings were completely loose when I opened it up!!!

Re: Need some fast help
I'm guessing you are talking about the bearings for the front. You should pre-load the bearings by getting the castle nut seated good and tight... in shade tree terms, a good grunt. Then, back the nut off to the nearest hole in the spindle that the cotter pin will slide through. You should be set.
I don't think you can really go by resistance because of variances in temperature, axle grease, new or old races, etc. Plus, pre-loading the bearings is important to lessen premature wear. Others may disagree. Good luck.
