Wheel Bearing: Adjustments
REAR WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment Procedure
1. Remove the dust cap from the hub and the cotter pin from the spindle.
Tighten
Tighten the wheel bearing spindle nut to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) while turning the wheel assembly forward by hand to fully seat the bearings. This will
remove any grease or burrs which could cause excessive wheel bearing play.
2. Loosen the wheel bearing spindle nut 180 degrees.
3. Tighten the wheel bearing spindle nut to 1 Nm (9 inch lbs.).
4. Install the new coffer pin and bend the ends.
5. Measure the end play. There will be from 0.03 to 0.13 mm (0.001 to 0.005 inch) end play when the wheel bearing is properly adjusted.
6. Install the dust cap on the hub.
