One other thingy... it could be me but; I don't agree with seating the races "on the fly". Races should be seated firmly "before" you begin the bolt it back together phase. Find a press if need be but seat your races then install the bearings and the seal.
The factory proceedure should be fine from there on out. Meaning: Mount, install the nut and tighten until your nose washer can be moved with the leverage of a screwdriver. If you have to keep tightening and tightening to seat races and you're using your bearings to do this I'd think things aren't going well... |
