Hi All, I'm putting new front wheel bearings on my 37 MD. As I was taking off the bearing hub, A question came to mind. When I put this back together, how tight do I put the castle nut on? Is there a torque spec on this? or is it tighten to one click of the elbow then back the nut off a couple of notches? Any help on this will be appreciated. Many Thanks,

Install the castle nut tight and then back off to the next hole and insert cotter pin.

Question, Ball bearings or tapered roller bearings? The procedure is different.

Hi 32Confederate, That would be for the old ball bearing type.
