Default Re: front wheel bearing adjustment ?

Not doin' this to prove how smart/knowledgeable I am. Learned a lot from other mechanics, some through trial & error, seeing failures from other's mistakes/poor workmanship. A lot of car repairs, diagnosing, etc, just requires some common sense reasoning. Like the full contact of wheel bearing rollers against the races to properly support car weight & side thrust, etc. FULL contact also helps the rollers in circulating the grease well.
A proper bearing pack with high temp disc brake grease, can easily go 30,000 miles, with maybe 1 or 2 quick re-adjustments at maybe 10,000 & 20,000 miles. Slick W.
