Hi all,
I tried the search function many times, and had no luck, although I know all of these questions have been answered before.
I'm in the process of replacing the bearings and hubs. Does it matter which hub goes on which side? I now know that it matters which clamping nut goes on which side, but is there a right and left for the hubs?
Also, there should be a thrust washer between the clamping nut and the outer bearing, correct? I may have overlooked them, but I'm starting to think that mine was missing them. Have to go back and check.
What is the best way to adjust the bearing free play. The procedure in the Haynes seems a little vague. I know his has been described before, but can't find it.
Anything else important I should know when re-assembling the front hubs? I'm hoping to get it back together and acutally drive it this weekend!
Thanks for the help,
Front rotors go on either side. Only the clamping nut is unique to each side. Yes, there is a big thrust washer that is keyed to the slot in the stub.
Tighten up the nut until the washer can be moved, with a little effort, back and forth with a big screwdriver. You don't want it sloppy, you don't want it too tight. Lock the nut with the set-screw. Run it for a hundred miles, then check again.
