Wheel Bearing Install - Torque Spec?
2009 Dyna Street Bob - replacing the bearings. Bought the Pit Posse tool set. I see recommendations on here that you just want them to have friction with the spacer, but having space/play is not good. So, what would the approximate or specified torque force be to create 'friction' but no 'play' inside the hub?

I'm going to make this Super Easy for you ... It's called thinking outside the Box ... Ready?
Use the "Installers" backwards (most of time anyways) ...
Seriously
- Place the Flat Disc with the "Recess Out" onto the "Long Bolt" ... (Flat side will be against Bore Bottom and then against installed 1st Bearing)
- Put Bolt through Hub and install the 1st bearing (LEFT FRONT and RIGHT REAR) using the "Piloted Installer" normally until bearing is "bottomed" in bore
- Insert Center Spacer Sleeve
- Put Bolt through installed bearing and use "Piloted Installer" to install 2nd Bearing until it's just completely in the bore and the "Installer" is barely starting to enter the bore and STOP
- Now Remove that "Installer" and flip it around so the Flat side is now against the bearing
- Pull it "Home" ... as tight as you want ... NO POSSIBLE CHANCE OF OVERDRIVING THE BEARING
Ask if any questions
