Yesterday I loosened up the wheel brearing nuts until I got minimal play on each wheel in all positions after the clamp nut was tightened. On one wheel I had to back off about 1/2 a turn and on the other about 3/4 of a turn. I am still hoping that I didn't cook the bearings. Sometime in the near future I will remove them and repack them and will look for the blueish tell tale tint on them... Thanks for you help...
