Re: Bearings
If you have never done the job before, make sure you put in new RACE CUPS for the bearing, they come in a set. Make sure you put them back together they way they came apart and not backwards. Preload the bearings by tightening the nut to about 15-20 ft lbs, spin the hub a few times and loosen and retighten to finger tight. A little bit loose is better than a little too tight.<br />Bearing buddies are great, but be carful not to overfill as they will squeeze the grease out the rear seals and make a mess, especially if you have brakes on a trailer, I speak from experience on this one,HA! Been there and done that.
