Minaz,
Buy a book or cd on your truck and take out the guess work. I personaly leave my tire on the rotor and tighten down the nut while turning the tire untill I have no wobble. Than I back it off a hair. Make sure your races and bearings are new and you prepack the bearings before install. Just remember to remove the caliper so you are not dealing with the pads drag on the rotor. Hope this helps, Good Luck

load on bearings
thank you for your reply.
i am up and going
at first i had to much load on the bearings
drove about 10 miles and check just back off about a 1/4 turn
now it seems to be good.
i farmed for 13 years back in iowa and replaced a few bearings on things but of course this is a bit different
