Decades of messing with cars leaves me with a pretty good feel for how tight a bearing should be. Of course there is no castle nut or other provision for backing off, though I have considered red loctite. Safety wire is also something I considered.
Good to know there is a spec, thanks for that.
I think I am going to find some .75 ID shims and get this right. I think as long as it's down I'll get some 1.25" stock and make up some new seal bushings. Mine were too rough for me taste.
Am I the first one to run into this?
Thanks for the input.
