Gives a 3 different ways to correctly adjust the bearings;
Feel and Drag Method
Torque Wrench Method
Dial Indicator Test
To get a lifetime of service out of your trailer re pack and inspect!
Thanks Martyn,

Hold fast to your dreams.
For if your dreams die,
then life is like a broken winged bird

I'm self taught on the web page construction, so I'm learning all the time but have a long way to go.
I can make a pdf of the document but I'm going to have to teach myself how to correctly reference it and upload it to the website.
When I get more time I'll experiment with it and see if I can get it to work.
