I'm thinking about servicing my rear wheel bearings, and wondering if I'm setting myself up for a major pita. In the past when I have taken the big nut off, I torqued it back as tight as I could with a six foot cheater. And let that be good enough. Bentley says precise torque is essential. What's the scoop on this job? John Jensen, Mudbug Pottery mudbug@toadhouse.com , http://www.toadhouse.com |
