Trivia for today - Front wheel bearing adjustment - Camaro brakes
Noticed one of my front wheel bearings had loosened up a little and went to tighten it up yesterday. The manual reminded me these aren't like most 50s, 60s era wheel bearings apparently. The specs in the manual are for new bearings and said to tighten to 20 ft lb initially, back off and then re-tighten to 15 ft lbs, then tighten until cotter pin will go in. However, nothing mentioned (that I saw) on used or seated in bearing adjustment. I ended up tightening them to what I hope is around 15 ft lbs (1/2 inch torque wrench starts at 20 and 1/4 inch one didn't appear to go that high). Seemed to match the other side in drag pretty well.
Anyone use a different method?
