wheel bearings

Post by Guy »

I am going to redo my front wheel bearings on my Zuk on saturday, previously I have used the "she will be right mate" hammer and punch method ...

This time I want to do it by the book .. torque wrench etc.

What size socket will I be needing for the wheel bearings and what should the drag be on the bearing once its tight enuff ?? (from memory it was about 2kg)



The nissan diffs are comming, but are still a few months off as I think I will save for an airlocker as well so I may as well wheel what I got till it dies :armsup:
