RE-read that CLOSELY!!!  That is NOT 101 =E2=80=9Cfoot pounds=E2=80=9D, =
it is 10lbs. ft.  or TEN =E2=80=9Cpounds foot=E2=80=9D!!  That is an =

=20

That 10 foot pounds =E2=80=9Cseats=E2=80=9D the bearing, then you back =
off the castle nut as specified and recheck runout.

=20

If you torque those bearings to 100 ft pounds you will break the =
bearings and probably other stuff including overstressing the small =
threads under the castle nut.

Still, 101???  Not 100?  Nobody lists a torque setting to +/- 1%  =
Especially back in the day.  With the old torsion-beam torque wrenches =
with a linear scale you're lucky to get +/- 5 lb-ft.

It's not a misprint, unless the missing space between the zero and the =
ell count.  It's mainly dyslexic or too-fast reading, or perhaps being =
more familiar with ft-lb convention than lb-ft that led him to see 101.

Wow! That definitely is a car with a broken leg! I=E2=80=99ve never done =
any work on an MG but I=E2=80=99ve never heard of a pre-load of 101 =
ft.-lbs. for front wheel bearings. All of our farm tractors, about 10, =
from a Farmall H to a Deere 4250, use the common specification of =
=E2=80=9Chand tighten to a slight drag, and then back off to the nearest =

=20

Can someone explain the 101 ft.-lb. spec or is that just a misprint?

And I lost a front wheel on my TR3B at 70 mph on I-70 in 2014.  I've not =
quite gotten over that episode yet,  Yes, don't fool around with wheel =
bearings!

=20

The root cause of my wheel-fell-off episode was a restorer who was more =
used to MG bearing preloads than a TR3's non-preloaded bearings.  He =
read this part of the Red Book service instructions as 101 lb=C2=B7ft, =
not 10 lb=C2=B7ft.  Yikes.

This happened in western Ohio, not too far from Macy's Garage as it =
turned out.  And although Mark and Co. didn't do the work that led to =
the wheel coming off, they know my car and were able to take it into =
their shop that afternoon while I flew home.

So listen to the voice of two of us with scary experiences.  Take care =
with wheel bearings.

Don't mess with wheel bearings.  Get it checked out.  I lost a wheel on =
my TR4 on the way home from the VTR in 2005.

I have a Stag and have checked and changed various components like =
bottom ball joint and top shock mount, but am still experiencing a =
vibration, through the steering wheel,  from the left front wheel only =
when I'm turning left. The car had been fitted with all new poly bushes.

There is no vibration going straight or when turning right.=20

I plan to swap the wheel with my spare,  but can a bad bearing cause =
these symptoms?

The hub rotates smoothly and there is no noise.

=20

The TR6 uses a similar vertical link setup as the Stag. The hub bearings =
are tapered.
