Need front wheel bearing adjustment procedure. Thanks

 

1. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. Install a wheel bolt (1) on the opposite side from the brake rotor retaining bolt (5).
3. Press the brake pads back in the brake caliper making sure they do not come in contact with the brake rotor.
4. Remove the dust cap (2).
5. Loosen the hub nut bolt. Turn the hub nut (4) back until a slight end play is achieved.
6. Attach a dial indicator.


CAUTION: Do not turn the wheel hub while taking the measurement.


7. Adjust the wheel bearing end play by turning the hub nut (4) in stages while pushing and pulling the rotor firmly
back and forth. Adjust end play to 0.01–0.02mm.
8. Tighten the hub nut bolt to 11 N·m (8 ft. lbs.) and recheck the wheel bearing end play.
9. Remove the dial indicator.
10. Install the wheel hub dust cap (2).
11. Remove the wheel bolt from the rotor.

12. Install the front wheel and tire assembly.

 

I have done this many times over the years but have not needed to do this on my Crossfire yet. I have never used a dial indicator or torque wrench. I do it by feel. I usually re-pack the bearings with gresse, which requires removal of the caliper and rotor as well as the hub.

If not re-packing the greese here is how I would do it. After romoving the wheel, install a couple of lug bolts to tighten the rotor to the hub. Push the brake pads back and remove the dust cap. tighenten the nut until you can't feel any play when rocking the rotor. rotor should still spin without a lot of drag. You're done, put it back together and put the wheel back on.
