Front Wheel Bearings: Adjustment

  1. Raise vehicle and support with safety stands. Remove dust cap from wheel hub. Remove cotter pin.
  2. Tighten hub nut to 12 ft. lbs. (16 N.m) while rotating wheel by hand. This will help seat wheel bearings.
  3. Loosen wheel hub nut no more than 1/2 flat, and retighten by hand. Back nut off until hole in spindle aligns with a slot in nut.
  4. Install a NEW cotter pin. Ensure cotter pin ends do not interfere with dust cap. Measure hub endplay. Correct endplay is 0.001-0.005" (0.03-0.13 mm).
