OK, down to the bare spindle just for kicks.
Managed to crunch my oil seal getting it out... :whoops: (Got a Chicago Rawhide until I get the real thing. These OK to use for a while? Looks flimsy, but then it's just to keep grease in, no biggie I hope.)
So to put the thing back on, FSM calls for 48 in-lb on the adjusting nut. I doubt very much my torque wrench works accurately in that range (it's a 150 ft lb or something). Hand tight good enough for the 4 lbft, right?
Also, the preload check (10 lbs or so on the fish scale), the idea is that the rotor should *begin* to rotate at that value of pull, correct?
tempted to have a peep inside the Birf but may wait... (I know, I know...)
