Preload is to get rid of the play and set everything tight. Then back off to establish some free play, hand tightening allows the endplay to be taken up with little to no pressure on the bearings. Whe

I would say I do the same... it's all based on feel for me. I'll be replacing the OE bearings in my 5th wheel this week and will be setting them one castleation tighter than I would on us
@BrokeAssPainter asked this question:
I just changed out my right wheel hub assy, everything I'm finding online says tighten to 20ft/lb then back off quarter turn and then hand tighten......... Honestly that just doesn't sound like it's going to hold my front tire on seeing as how it's a 2wd with independent front suspension. Anyone care to chime in? I'd really appreciate someone saving me from a catastrophic failure lmao
