Right I plan this weekend to take a look at my drivers side front wheel bearing that has play and assume I might just be able to tighten it up to take up the play.
I have the 54mm socket and if need be Toyo have the parts in stock if I find I have to replace it.
I have done a lot of reading around and the procedure seems to be removing all the bits inspecting them all and then re packing the bearings and re assembling it all.
Where the confusion comes in is that it seems one has to tighten the first nut to a higher spec yet to be found to "seat" the bearings then undo and redo to specific torque yet again to be established. After which the outer nut needs to be dome up ensuring the inner one does not rotate to a specific torque that hen gives you the desired break away setting on the fish scale.
Where the confusion comes in is that the workshop manual torque figures seem to be too low according to people so I can go off there and there seems to be more than one number for new bearings and another for already used bearings that just need repacking.
Torque setting to seat the bearings?
Torque setting for first/inner nut?
Torque setting for last/outer nut?
Should the above settings be with dry nuts and washers/claws?
