I replaced my pass side inner and outer wheel bearings (timken) yesterday but I am still getting the same exact noise as I was before, no change, possibly just a little quieter. So of course I'm questioning myself on everything I did. I followed glaciers brake diary thread. I would assume I did it correctly because there is no change at all in the noise. As I continue to figure this out, I'll take my auto hubs off and see if there are any changes (yes, my auto hubs work). My main question is I've been reading alot of other threads that talk about preloading the inner nut then backing off. I assume this "inner nut" is the 2 3/8"? Then the other threads talk about tightening an outer nut to 150lbs. or more. Glacier's diary never talks about tighting any nut to 150lbs. What nut are they talking about? The only nut I came across was the 2 3/8" one. I'm very aggravated at this. Thanks in advance and any other suggestions will be appreciated.
