Pulling pretty hard to right

[bwiygul]

Sorry I’ve been off of here long enough that I wasn’t getting notifications. I did get it sorted. Between the tires and TRE’s and bushings, there was a cumulative effect that had it all jacked. It’s mostly fixed now but I’m still going to go through the all the bushings. Just trying to budget between the stuff for my 80 and my 40 frame off. Decisions decisions!!

There is controversy on how to "properly" adjust a set of front wheel bearings.

No there isn't - the process is described in Toyota's applicable FSM's. For the standard setup (inner nut + locktab + outer nut), the inner nut is set to 43 ft/lb, then the outer nut is set to 60 ft/lb. All the while continuing to ensure the pre-load is correct using a fish-scale.

There is no wishy-washiness with that if it's done properly.

Do up inner nut to spec - rotate hub a few times in each direction, back off nut to finger tight, re-torque to spec. Check pre-load with fish scale and repeat steps if pre-load isn't correct. Then fit new locktab (never re-use old ones), and locknut, tighten locknut to 60 ft-lb and again check pre-load with the fish-scale. Then bend up 2 or 3 of the locktab tabs.

All of this depends on having bearings in good condition, bearing pairs properly matched, and bearings (plus inside the hubs) properly packed with suitable grease.

If the factory nuts and locktab have been replaced with the aftermarket single nut and lockring setup, the process is the same as for fitting the inner factory hub nut then the outer ring is installed with the nut very slightly backed off to get the small holes of the lockring to line up with holes in the big nut.

I believe you have misread the FSM. And @BILT4ME is right, there's disagreement.

The FSM that you get may differ from the one they give us? Using this method usually results in loose bearings, sooner than later.

5. ADJUST PRELOAD
(a) Using SST, torque the adjusting nut.
SST 09607–60020
Torque: 59 N·m (600 kgf·cm, 43 ft·lbf)
(b) Turn the hub right and left 2 or 3 times.
(c) Using SST, torque the adjusting nut.
SST 09607–60020
Torque: 59 N·m (600 kgf·cm, 43 ft·lbf)
(d) Loosen the nut until it can be turned by hand.
(e) Using SST, torque the adjusting nut again.
SST 09607–60020
Torque: 5.4 N·m (55 kgf·cm, 48 in.·lbf)
NOTICE:
Check that the bearing has no play.
(f) Using a spring tension gauge, measure the preload.
Preload (at starting):
28–56 N (2.9–5.7 kgf, 6.4–12.6 lbf)
6. INSTALL LOCK WASHER AND LOCK NUT
(a) Install a new lock washer and lock nut.
(b) Using SST, torque the lock nut.
SST 09607–60020
Torque: 64 N·m (650 kgf·cm, 47 ft·lbf)
(c) Check that axle hub turns smoothly and that the bearing
has no play.
(d) Using a spring tension gauge, check the preload.
Preload (at starting):
28–56 N (2.9–5.7 kgf, 6.4–12.6 lbf)
If it is not within the specification, adjust it with the adjusting nut
after removing the lock washer and lock nut.
(e) Secure the lock nut by bending one of the lock washer
teeth inward and the other lock washer teeth outward.

@sunrk I didn't notice you're in Australia. If your FSM is actually different, please post a picture, we'd love to see it.

If you're happy with the FSM method, stick with it.
There's many who have followed the FSM, had failures and found more long term reliable alternative methods, myself included.

It's not different.

nah mate, it's easy, just turn it upside down, you'll get it



Cheeky f ucker!
Just coz you progressed to understanding them archaic feet and inches without taking off your shoes and shocks doesn't make you guys all smart and s hit
