Will someone please refresh my memory on the correct way to tighten wheel
bearings? Thanks
Actually, you don't tighten the bearing per se, you tighten the axle
nut. I tighten it up lightly with a pair of pliers giving it a spin
and a shake till the nut is solidly bottomed out ( do not apply a lot
of pressure,) then back it up to the next notch back for the cotter
pin to give it some room for heat expansion. Always worked well for
me.
