How-To Video: Setting Front Wheel Bearing Preload

[LuckyStrike]

Hey guys,
I had a long trip planned and knew my wheel bearings were really loose, my LX is a newer purchase and I'm working my way through the vehicle. Prior to purchase, the brakes were serviced at Lexus, so I thought they were done correctly - I was mistaken. I did a quick preload reset on them and shot a video on the process. I have new wheel bearings in hand just didn't have the time to install them so i felt comfortable reusing some items in the process, YMMV. Anyway hope this helps!

Very thorough and love the cleanliness. If you're ever here in the UK we'll show you how we do them in the mud and rain. When doing the preload with the scales I tend to run a piece of string or cord around rather than just put the scales directly on the lug. Slightly easier to get a tangential pull.
Nice to see a proper job. These are so often butchered.

Thank you for the very kind words. It means alot. I'd love to take you up on your UK offer! I'd like to get over there someday.
