AllenM=> I don't have one of these wheel bearing play measuring devices
=> so how do I know when I have it rightjÕS= on't take this as gospel, but this is how I've been taught: The
indicator is the washer under the spindle nut. When the tension is
correct, you can *just* move the washer with a screwdriver.
Make sure everything's clean and well greased. Tighten down the nut,
then stick your big screwdriver in there and put some lateral tension in
the washer. Back off on the nut until the washer just starts to move. Do
this three or four times until you're sure it's right. Don't forget to
tighten up the nut tensioner with your 6mm hex wrench afterward to make
sure it stays there.
I'll be very interested to see what other members have to stay about this.
