Wheel bearing questions again

[sailingcruiser]

Good afternoon noon everyone
I just did the brakes on my fzj80 and found that when I disassembled the wheel bearings for cleaning and repacking that the thrust washers where scored like the outer housing of the bearing was spinning on it. Slight blueing. Plenty of grease.
On reassemble. I found that to get the Toyota specs on the pull test. That I was at almost 30ft Lbs on the torque wrench on the inner nut to get within spec. One side never got there.

So the question is the fish scale test. More important then just setting them to a torque spec and not worrying about them. checking once in a while. New bearings on order soon.

Thanks for any insight

Skip the Toyota FSM torque procedure. I would check for scoring on the spindle first. Most likely under torqued and that’s what causes your wear issue on the washer. Look for Toolsrus method for torquing.

thats what I ended up doing. My thinking is that Toyota put 4ft lbs in there as a starting point from there you keep going up until the bearings are in speck on the scale. That’s how it reads to me anyway. One spindle had very slight scoring.

After the bearings are "settled" torque it to ~30ft/lb.
