Ex Member Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 What nuts are you exactly talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 There are two procedures in the manuals. One uses a torque and one uses an endplay reading. Either works. I think the torque method is a little more foolproof. Front and back are the same. If you are not familiar with setting hub bearings, you should read a good description or better yet have someone show you. Back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, all cars had hub bearings that were adjustable and required regular service and this job would have been one of the first things you learned as a youngun.

jbs Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Drizz-I do mine to what the manual says and so far it's been very good to use the torque settings and follow the manual as now I don't have to keep adjusting them half as much as I used to have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizz Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Oh, so the manual says to torque them? the guides above dont show that. Ill sit and read through the manual then. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I have never torqued the hub nuts up in my life. I adjust them as I was taught many years ago. The idea of torqing them up is new...Well if you have the time. For me waterpump pliers will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Well if it's not sufficient now why has it been the norm for years ? In my case for the last 50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizz Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Then thats good enough for me! Thank you sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Inner nut as tight as necessary to set the bearings correctly. I then do the outer nut up as tight as I physically can with the box spanner. The lock washer will stop them coming undone, but I like the wheel to be held on tightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
