Re: Front wheel bearings?

Jim: 
 
Remove dust cap, straighten & pull cotter pin, remove lock nut. Then tighten
adjuster nut to 90 IN LBS then align the lock nut over the adjuster nut
aligned with the drilled hole in spindle. Then back both nuts off one slot
and install cotter pin. Just spread the cotter pin to keep it from pulling
out. Cut of the excess length, reinstall dust cap. Now would be a good time
to add some grease to at least the outer bearing.   Are you familiar with
repacking bearings?

No, I did not try a torque wrench adjustment. As Lester suggested, I 
Grabbed the top and bottom and wiggled, and there's some play there. 
What's the right torque? 
 
Thanks.
