Hi folks,

I put everything back together and checked the end float (per Haynes) with a 
dial indicator and guess what!

Zero end float at either wheel.  I mean, not even 0.001.  I'm really pulling 
and pushing but no movement.  Am I doing something wrong here?

I'll order up some shims and get back to you when I have set up the float.

Just one last question.  How much grease should I put in the cavity for the 
bearing?  Normally, when using a grease gun on a nipple, the excess starts to 
ooze out someplace but I don't think the excess can go anywhere in this case.  
Or I am wrong.

Thanks for all your help.

Regards,  Adrian  TS 58324
