Goodmorning fellas,
Finally decided to change out the brake pads, bearings, and rotors on my rig yesterday. It is a 2wd rig. I currently have new bearings packed with grease and new rotor back on spindle. Is there a specific torque spec for the spindle nut? I do not want bearings too loose because that's how they were before and made one heck of a rattling every time I hit a pothole. Right now, they have a slight preload to them. Enough to keep the rotor from spinning "completely" freely and am not sure if this is an acceptable pre-load for these type of bearings. Right now they continue to spin about a half turn until coming to a stop when spinning rotor by hand. Any help would be appreciated as always! Thanks
