Try turning the rotor by hand while tightening the bearing nut (with the other hand). Last time I did bearings I did not use a wrench on the socket, just my fist. Did them up until there was resistance and backed them off to the nearest point where I could install a cotter pin. Turning the rotor will let the bearings bed properly, I think... which sounds like what they're not doing. Wheels have not fallen off the 'vette yet, but then, if they do, I'm out ten, maybe fifteen dollars ;-) -Malcolm '62 TR4 (worthy) '81 Chevette (worthless) |
