Default Re: front wheel bearing adjustment ?

Bill Williamson is correct. The bearings must have some preload to function. One method I have not seen here is to use the washer behind the nut to determine tightness. Tighten the nut until you can just move the washer with a screwdriver. I don't recall where I learned this, but I have used this method many years.
