(Always Remember: To prevent serious eye injury always wear safe eye protection when performing vehicle maintenance or service and follow recommended safety procedures.)

To adjust the wheel bearing on a rear drive axle begin by torqueing the inner adjusting nut to 200 ft. lbs. To seat the bearing rollers and the wheel seal, always rotate the hub while torqueing the nut. Torque the adjusting nut to 200 ft. lbs. while rotating the hub. Back the nut off one turn. Now, torque the nut to 50 ft. lbs. then back it off 1/4 turn. Install the retaining hardware and torque the jam nut to the proper specifications. For nuts less than 2 5/8" 200-300 ft. lbs. and nuts greater than 2 5/8" 300-400 ft. lbs, install the dial indicator and check in play. In play should be within 1 - 5000's of an inch. If the in play is not within specs, re-adjust the inner nut to obtain the correct in play.
