RE: Trailer hub bearing torque With the two thin nut system (the vast majority of non spacered axles/two tapered bearings with no spacer cone), this is my procedure: -coat bearings & axle threads with oil -tighten inner nut with a 18-24" long handled ratchet tight as I can -rotate wheel 1-1.5 turns -retighten as tight as I can -back off 1/4 turn -install locking plates -install outer jam nut -tighten as hard as I can -rotate 1-1.5 turns -retighten as tight as I can -verify wheel spins without excessive bearing end play -bend lock tabs into place That's roadside, parking lot, God knows where procedure. At the shop I verify end play with dial indicator to between 0.001-0.003" Did it that way for 20years. User's Signature: Why? Why do I always ask "why?" Because I can't learn or help teach others with "'cause I said so..." | |||
