Hi Peter
I have been working on cars for years but you have posted a couple of tips I
didn't know! Yes you are on the right track with the end float, I have been
setting mine to 5 lb ft and pinning at the nearest hole back but I guess it
probably works out about the same as your method. Wait a week or two for it
all to settle then re-check is good.
I would say you did well even for a first time go slow, repairing things on
cars outside of a commercial setting, like you for yourself is not about how
fast but how thorough you can be!
How is your confidence in yourself now? You should feel good having cracked
that problem, what do you plan next!
Keep up the good work, and thanks for the tips.

| Well, I've done it, changed the front wheel bearings on the 6. Thanks to
all
| for the tips. Jan, I had no problems; thanks for asking. Joe Curry, of
| course I had good wheel bearings! :)
| Think I will wait a couple of weeks (I drive the car every day) and check
float again.
| Any more thoughts about end float? Do you think I am on the right track?
| Again thanks to all. I know this has been long, but I figured others out
| there who are a little afraid would like to know that this is doable. Oh,
| yeah, took me 6 hours from when I stepped into the garage 'till I stepped
out
| of the shower with a couple of short breaks. I know it can be done much
| faster, but for a first time go slow and careful, not bad.
