I'm rebuilding the front axle on my '55 M38A1 and want to get the proper
preload on the hub bearings.
TM9-8014 says to "tighten the hub bearing adjusting nut (J, fig. 134) until
the bearings begin
to bind when the wheel is turned. Back off on the adjustment one-sixth turn
or until the wheel just turns freely." That's ok, but "bind" and "freely"
are very subjective terms. TM9-8015-2 says to adjust the bearings per
TM9-804A. Can't seem to find that TM anywhere (Portrayal Press, etc.). Can
anyone please point me in the direction of this TM? I'm hoping it's on line
or in a .pdf format and has hard preload data I can adjust the bearings to.
Thanks,
Allen in Seattle
