. Yes! You've definitely "done good" on the front hub setup. Payoff / Payback and maybe even confirmation with the cool hubs is great to hear! .

. I dunno. I think it would be safe to say that snug it (the spindle nut), then off about a half a turn. I would expect the wheel jacked up and spin it by hand and it should spin freely and slow gently - not suddenly like something is dragging. .

. I personally would say no. If you pack the bearings correctly, an extra glob in that "well" between the inner and outer bearing shouldn't need to be filled. I went out and searched for more opinions on "the glob of grease". Mercedes claims a requirement for 60 grams in that "well". I...

. You could buy a fancy plastic "bearing packer" and use a grease gun to pack the bearings... OR you could hand pack them. Back in the old days before plastic bearing packers were available by hand and no gloves worked just fine. Here is a picture off the Web (complete with blue gloves to...

. Red and Sticky is good stuff. Honestly, with lubricants today I don't think you would find anything that isn't perfectly acceptable on the shelf at the auto parts store.

. Oh, that stuff we called mission creep back in the old days... :cool: Yessir my original purchase of a M936 that needed a few hydraulic hoses turned into all sorts of other things - and it is still being worked on a couple of years later. Now I need to remove the radiator and have it...

. Based on your description, I am of the opinion that the new parts are going to solve your troubles. Can't wait to hear how it all works out... .

. I have had a truck that experienced the pull to the right. Solution was a replacement brake caliper. The problem would "come and go" and stayed gone with the replacement caliper. Your adjusters are in correctly on that picture. Best way to test it - after assembly - is to work the...

. Agreed. Unless the guy before you put the self-adjusters in backward. It is amazing how often that happens.

. Me personally, about a quarter or a half turn back. You need room for expansion as the bearings heat up. Back it off, then spin the drum. It should rotate freely but if you grab the left and right of the drum and try to wiggle the drum left and right. There should be no "slop".

. Yeah, I was impressed with the numbers - where the holes in the locking nut measure out to .003 I have always run the inside nut down tight. Almost too tight to tun the wheel. Wiggling, pushing and turning the hub with the ultimate goal of seating the seal and/or making sure that the...
