Today, i've changed the oil in the front wheel hubs of my 2000 Magnum 500. To my surprise, no oil was left in one of the hubs. After pouring in some oil, I lifted the front end of the atv and found out free play when i shaked the wheel. Should I change the bearings and the seals? Since these bearings are tapered, can I make an ajustment? What is the torque spec of the nut at the end of the drive shaft?

 

sounds like your bearings and hub seals are shot!!

 

ooops, i think thr torque value is between 65 -80 inch pounds.
