Jack tube is the best way! Unless rusted of course!
If rusted: do it as Spoke said! If you cant use the Jack tube, use a block of rubber or wood when you jack it up! And to tighten those wheel bearings is not hard at all! |

I haven't done any work on this yet as I've been quite sick, but someone told me something that I want to write down here so that I don't forget.
When you tighten the 6mm allen nut or whatever it is, only tighten it to the point that it just stops, don't torque it past that point. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

If you're talking about the nut that holds the hub onto the spindle, it is a pinch nut. I would give it a bit more than just "when it stops". If the nut is not secured on the spindle, it can back off and you're gonna lose a wheel in the worst case.
Don't use a 4' breaker bar on it, but do tighten the pinch screw securely. |

You tighten the nut until you can just barely move the washer behind it by pushing it (not prying on it!) with a screwdriver. Then you tighten the little Allen screw that keeps the nut from rotating.
I believe that one of the sides is reverse threaded. --DD |
