Sorry Andy....of all the wheel bearings I have tightened, I have not felt the drag like you are talking about. I run them up tight and back the nut off 1/4 turn, check for looseness (movement of hub in relation to spindle). If I *feel* it moves to much I tighten it about 1/16 - 1/8 of a turn and do it again.
I also have not exerted sufficient force on the spindle nut to "lock" the bearing to the point where it won't turn. |
