[QUOTE="timsmcm, post: 418487, member: 1083"] Cone bearings need to be loose when the final adjustment is made. As heat develops while in use, tolerances get just right. When I tighten the castle nut I leave it to where I can grab the top and bottom of the tire and see if there is the very slightest amount t of play, and I mean very little. Running the same bearing sets in my harley for 40 years. Boat bearings for 30+ years. Good maintenance and you never need to replace them. [/QUOTE]
