hi, what i do , and have NEVER had a failure is: make sure bearings have enough grease. titen the bearing up pretty firm, then slacken off till its just loose. then get the correct spanner, and using one or two fingers , pull on the spanner till it stops with gentle pressure. then with a little more pressure pull on the spanner a bit harder then it will stop. i leave it like this.
its a little hard to describe exactly how much pressure to put on it , but if you follow the above , and mess around a little with it you`ll see what i mean. mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "jimmy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 8:57 PM Subject: Re: Brake Rotor Change > how do i do this? > > what happens if i just tighten em up? > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 5:41 PM > Subject: RE: Brake Rotor Change > > > > When you put the rotor back on make sure you adjust the preload on the > > bearings... > > Don't just tighten them up... > > Seen it happen.. > > Iggy Sandejas > > Sydney NSW > > Datsun 1600 FJ20t > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Michael Foreshew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, 2 October 2001 16:25 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: Brake Rotor Change > > > > > > Nat, > > > > It appeared to be fairly simple but never can be quite sure.
