WOW you guys did not preload those bearings correctly NOT EVEN close to right

@hunter4runner Make a video that shows how to do it right. I'm about to do this to a 4 runner 1988. 4x4. Or explain

@hunter4runner

I was thinking the same thing, though it's been awhile. Shouldn't they have loosened the nut in between the tightening to 12 foot pounds?

how would have you done it?

[hunter4runner]

@briholt100 the fsm explains the torque procedure, the adjusting nut is torqued to 43 ft/lbs then the hubs is spun to the left and right two or three times, (three to be safe), then loosen the adjusting nut till it can be turned by hand, (this is usually about an 1/8 of a turn reverse), the nut is then re-torqued to 18 ft/lbs, after that your check preload with a spring tention gauge, the range is 6.4 to 12.6 for old bearings more toward 12, then the lock washer and the lock nut, the lock nut

@hunter4runner is torqued to 35ft/lbs, the fsm makes the note to "check that the bearing has NO play", then check it again with the spring tention gauge, if it is out of spec (6.4-12.6lbs) then the torque procedure on the adjusting nut must be preformed again.

If anyone needs the FSM section on this message me and I can send you a PDF section of this.
