Just got the bearings for doing the rear stub axles in SS 820 and have a nitpick question about the procedure.
88 FSM:
FA-5: Procedure for the front:
So, you're supposed to torque to spec, crack it off a bit and use a scale to measure preload. Got it.
I just did mine and only cracked it off the 60deg without measuring/setting the preload.
RA-5: Procedure for the rear:
Torque to spec: 152-210 ft-lbs (which is a huge range). Then measure preload. No further procedure specified.
So would i assume that you torque it to the low end of the spec, check preload and then tighten incrementally if it is too easy to turn, checking each time?
OR
For those that have done it, did you just day fuck-it and torque it without messing about setting the preload.
The procedure for installation of the rear wheel bearings is pretty vague.
I have a dial guage fish scale that i think might work for setting the preload.
