Sounds like you don't have enough shims between the hub spacer and the
bearing. Check the shop manual for the correct tensioning procedure.

Aw shucks, got me! I'm installing the new fronts wheel hubs, front brake
pads, and new brake drums on my TF. All the parts I got from Moss. Only
one
problem, when I tighten down on brake drum nuts,,,the drum locks up big
time.
I can't budge it. Its not the brake pads, cause it turns fine until I
tighten
down, and Its not the bolt heads on the brake drum plate cause the hub turns
great before the drum is put on.
Anyone got any ideas?
