Yep. The question was about a TR3. The answer was torque the nut down
to 10 pounds then back off between one and one point five flats. This
is straight out of the factory TR3 service manual.
(Has no one a factory service manual that they use when working on their
car?)
I later mentioned to someone that a new felt oil seal compresses a lot
after a little driving. I suggested repeating the adjustment procedure
about 100 miles or so after initial adjustment when a new felt seal is
installed. This isn't in the factory manual but it tightened up my front
wheels while keeping the bearing loading in accordance with the factory
manual.
