Hi ya Ken,

I've seen countless tapered roller bearings over the years that have failed because of improper, or should I say, "insufficient" pre-load.

I don't know what it is about repacking wheel bearings that makes people think they need to be "backed off" a partial turn; that's the worst thing that can be done.

Running an unloaded tapered roller bearing is the fastest way I know of ruining it. They first get hot, then they start peeling like an onion.

Dunno, it must be a throw back from the old days of roller bearings or something.
