Please use the proper sockets to adjust the wheel bearings properly. The inner nut its far from 'tight' and is only set to around 16 INCH lbs. Anymore and you will eat bearings very quickly. And the outer nut needs to be more than lightly tapped on....should be 150-200 ft lbs depending on tire/wheel size.in this order:
-pull wheel/tire off
-take auto hub off
- take a little pick and dig around in the grease there will be 2 springs that wrap around the spindle, take those off
- then pull the bearing off and anything else you can get off
- use your little pick again and take the lock key out (dig around in the grease it'll be there somewhere)
- once the lock key is out you can spin the spindle nut off, might be a little tight, should come off by hand if it tightens up then use a pair of channel lock pliers
-now all the automatic hub shit should be off
- in the conversion kit there will be 4 nuts that screw onto the spindle. 2 that have little "pins" on them, grab one and point the pin to the outside and screw it on. i used a small snap on pry bar and pry'd the nut tight using the wheel stud (carefully!) as leverage
-next grab the washer out of the kit that looks like swiss cheese and slide that bastard on there, make sure the "pin" is in a hole in the washer and push it on
-next grab the outer nut (its smooth no pins or holes) and spin it on, i took a punch and a hammer and set the punch flat into one of the grooves and lightly tapped on it to tighten it.
dude thats the least of my problems right now, me and another guy clipped driver's corners last night, i got all squirrelly hit the ditch and busted a telephone pole in half. other than a sore chest im fine. pretty sure its my fault unfortunately, kinda scared to go to court though.
