I've just changed a CV and am setting the wheel bearing preload. I've followed the instructions given in the sticky link and ih8mud link. However, I am a bit confused... With the adjusting nut having been tightened to 43ft-lb the preload is within spec at around 8-10lb. But when I then slacken the adjusting nut off and retighten to approx 5ft-lb before installing the lock washer and lock nut, the preload drops to virtually nothing....?
What am I doing wrong? I have not changed the wheel bearings if that makes any difference.
edit: not too worry, just found the answer in one of my own previous threads !!!
