Front wheel bearing adjustment

Hey thanks guys, looks like to spin the tire im gonna have to take the center cap off the cragers to do the spin the tire deal........as for now im just moving the rotor back and forth untill its snug while spinning it. I thought the slotted washer was supposed to move a little while the castle nut was hand tight, i can still move it with effort when i tighten the nut by hand and moving it to the cotter pin hole, even if i back off the nut to the cotter pin hole the washer still moves, just easier. When done i can still loosen the castle nut by hand, takes some effort but i can do it by hand.

One last question, had to take the rotor off a few times due to a few other issues , i already torqued the bearings down , do i clean the front bearing up , then repack it again, and start all over, or can i just put a little more grease around the bearing and call it a day.

Thanks

Droptop 72........caught your post while slow typing mine.........thats pretty much the way ive been doing it ..........i get confused on all this backing it off some, im able to tighten with my fingers and then still using my hand to move it a hair to the next hole.

I have to paint some spots on my lower control arms , im gonna try this again and see what i got.............seems im close either way.

Hey Hydro, just wondering where you got that 70lb torque #........about all ive seen on the web is 12ish ft lbs............messed around with it today, got it finger tight then backed off about half a flat..............just cant seem to get this straight in my head. lol.......all i have to do is just touch the nut and it loosens up.......gonna keep it there for a few miles and see whats happening after that.

Taking the car for another alignment this tue...........i grinded down my umi lower arms so they wouldnt hit the rotor...........hopefully it works this time.

Once again, appreciate the help
