I just replaced all my wheel bearings on my 95' D1. I had to re-set the front driver side hub nuts and washers after about 100 miles of driving because I noticed a little play in the wheel and rotor. The other three seem fine. I did use a 2 3/32" hub socket (closest I could find to fit) to tighten down the nuts....anyways is it possible to have the bearings too tight? Just wondering... Thxs.

Yes, you can easily over tighten them. This will heat up the bearings a lot, ruin them, and perhaps sieze them onto the spindle. Better loose than too tight. I use the procedure on the www.d-90.com site under Tech/Front Wheel Bearing Install and the one on http://www.spanishtrailrovers.com/ is good too. I saw a TSB for the RRC (same axle basically) and it was consistent with the d-90 article. |
