while re-assembling my front end i consulted the sacred haynes manual as to how to mount the hubs on the spindle page 100, fig 7.2 , # 16 ..verse 9. book of john.
yea tho i mount the the guard plate as thy sayeth, thy hub shall not spin, nor shall thy clamping nut have the clearence to clampeth. could this most sacred of all books ...BE WRONG? damn picture don't even look like mine. seems to work better if i turn it over. P.S. Eric don't send me one for christmas, this one screws me up just fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Ok, easiest way is to tighten the spindle nut until you can't move the washer behind it and I don't mean tighten it with a 4' cheater bar. Once it's tight against the washer, back the nut off about 1/8 turn and see if you can move the washer with a screwdriver (prying against the side). If you can move it, lock the nut with the allen head fastner.
When you take it for a drive, run it a few miles (10 or so), stop and get out and feel the hubs. If they're hot, it's to tight**. If not, probably just right. **Make sure your brakes are not binding heating up the rotor. Ok, you've got my $0.05 worth. Next .................... |
