Hub help PLEASE
#1
I just changed my inner hub seals today, and was wondering what the proper touque is on the castle nut(the very last nut you tighten). I tightened mine, but I think the right side is just a tid bit too tight. Is there any damage that can result from a hub that's just a bit too tite? How do you guys adjust yours? Isn't it like 100 inch pounds? I was just wondering what the proper procedure is.
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry to load you guys with questions. I appreciate your responses.
