Wheel bearings

[Ivan141]

Just replaced a wheel bearing on my volvo today (exactly the same system). Always nice when you can work on it at a dealership...plenty of mechanics that know their stuff to help out. It's a damn messy job packing the grease into the new bearings, and getting the old bearing shells out is a pain too. I was under the impression that the bearings needed to be torqued but the mechanics just adjust the bearing so it runs without slack. Just dont forget to stake the new nut so it doesnt get loose. I could still turn the nut by hand when it was properly adjusted by the way.
