Listers,

Tightening the stub axle nut to the next flat after removing all play from
the bearing is the wrong way to go. One does not preload a tapered bearing
in this application. Hope this was just a misunderstanding and that there
are not a whole lot of folks doing it this way.

Also, there were a number of felt seals being sold that were much to thick,
preventing proper adjustment of the bearing. Be careful.
