Li special front hub nuts tightness?
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2016 9:38 pmHi,
After removing the front wheel I found the lock nuts holding the hub halves together where hardly tight at all and could be undone by hand easily. From memory I don't remember a specific torque setting for these but would expect them to be at least spanner tight. I am thinking now that the play in the front hub was down to these nuts not being secure enough rather than the wheel bearings as first thought. Any comments on this ? Thanks in advance.
