Default Re: Front wheel bearing removal

The step that people forget on setting bearings is this.Tighten the nut Tight,spin the hub,back the nut off about 1/4-turn or so,spin the hub again,then tighten it until you just feel it snug-up against the bearing(sometimes even loosen/tighten at this step a few times to make sure).Then line up your cotter-pin(always go to the next hole tighter if you need to align the nut to the slot).Tightening it first and spinning trues the bearings in the races,otherwise they can cock a little and then loosen when they seat themselves after running a bit.This is the same procedure for anything with roller-bearings,from carts to semis'.Hope this helps.
