Getting ready to replace front brake and rotors, gonna replace wheel bearings while I have them off. No evidence they are worn but bearing will eventually wear so I'm replacing them.
Questions:
(1) I read a few places here that the manual is wrong about torque on the wheel bearing nuts. Folks are claiming 30 inner 45 lock. Does anyone have knowledge that the manual is wrong, and if where did the other specs 30/45 come from? Usually these require several steps --- tighten, loosen, tighten but not as much. "Don't use the fish scale" someone says. Why not? I'm hoping for verified info here, not "Well this is what I did!"
(2) Anyone use Timken or National grease seals for the front wheels? Are they OK?
Thanks!
