Dear TR3 Intelligentsia,
I rebuilt the front hubs on my TR3 today with new inner and outer
bearings and races. The book says to load the bearing nut to 10
ft.lb (I made a guess at this) then back off 1.5 to 2 flats depending
on alignment of the cotter pin holes. When I did that I got a wheel
with a lot of play in it. Grabbing the top and bottom of the wheel
and shaking produced a lot of rattling. So I snugged the nut up one
flat which took out the rattle.
Did I do the right thing? How loose should the front wheels be? Any ideas?
Bob
