In case anyone is interested, that instruction sheet is here:
http://i.b5z.net/i/u/1080235/f/Instr...59-831-00A.pdf

I install them exactly as you and the instruction sheet describe. The castle nut is hand tight only after tightening it down first to seat the bearings.

I think the "side to side play" you refer to is described at the very end of that document. The TM bearings are right at 35mm and below, so that means the amount of play you should detect with a 27" diameter tire (as with a 205/75R15), according to that document, is 0.08", which is a little more than 1/16". I guess that would be detectable if you were really looking for it. Good to know.

Default Bearing Installation

Dave,

OK - good! We are on the same page.

I just wasn't clear as to whether you backed the finger tight nut out to the next position on the nut retainer. This sets the required bearing play.

Have a great camping season.

Take care,

Phil

OK time for a "basic" read "stupid" question. When you say "place your hands on the hub" where exactly do you mean? Are you talking about the silver cone (housing) that extends over the bearing? Or what? I have a 2009.5 2720.

Seems like an excellent safety check, I am just not sure where you mean.

Thanaks.

Hello,

As you suggested, I place my hand on the cone which covers the bearing.

Take care,

Phil
