One peculiarity about the front wheel bearings is that almost all
other cars with tapered roller beaings do not use any distance piece
or shims. This is also true on early BN2:s, which were designed to
run on exactly the same bearings but without the distance piece and
the shims. On these cars the adjustment is made in the same manner as
most other cars. One tightens the nut to get rid of any slack but not
much enough to get drag. It is actually a much easier way of
adjusting the bearings.
