Front Wheel Bearings

CAUTION: Never preload tapered roller bearings, or damage to bearings will result. Bearings are designed to have a slightly loose feel when properly adjusted.
  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove hub dust cap and cotter pin. Tighten spindle bearing nut to 12 ft. lbs. (16 N.m) while turning wheel forward by hand. Back off nut until it is just loose.
  2. Finger tighten nut until snug. Loosen nut slightly (no more than 1/2 flat) until new cotter pin can be installed. Hub play (in and out) should be .001-.005" (.03-.13 mm) when properly adjusted. Install dust cap and wheel cover.
