Wheel Bearing: Adjustments

Install hub bearings on spindle, then install hub nut and torque to 22 ft. lbs. to seat bearings. Loosen hub nut, then torque nut to 6 ft. lbs. Install nut retainer cap and cotter pin. If cotter pin holes are not aligned, loosen nut to align holes. The nut may be loosened to a maximum of 30° to align cotter pin holes. Check to ensure hub assembly rotates freely without play.
