Howard:
If memory serves, the front axle stubs are UNF 20 threads per
inch, which means that one full turn on the castle nut moves 0.050". You
could tighten finger tight, and back off say, one half of one flat on
the nut. That would be 1/12 of 0.050 or about 0.004".
Technically, you want to use a dial gauge with a magnetic base
and measure the end float in that manner, but if you don't have a dial
gauge, the above method will work.
Me bad. I just tighten them finger tight, set the cotter pin and
call it good.

Subject: Bearing End Float
I am in the process of replacing my front rotors. To remove the rotor I
had to remove the hub. I checked my Bentley's manual for specifications
for reinstalling the bearings. The book gives a specification for
bearing end float to be between 0.003" and 0.005". How does one measure
that?
Any help would be appreciated,
