Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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:

I think i have a wheel bearing socket in my toolbox at home. I'll have a look tonight and if so bring it to work. You can borrow it if you want, if i have one that is

Thats quite alright .. thanks for looking .. will order one to pick up with my wheel bearings.
Managed to get bearing kits (koyo) etc for $40 a side .. repco quoted me $75 a side.. so I am still doing OK ..
