in both directions to ensure the hub bearings are
correctly seated.
• Secure a cord to a wheel stud and wrap cord
around hub, fasten free end to a spring balance.
• Apply a steady pull to spring balance and note

between 6 to 10 lbs. (2.7 to 4.5 kg) correspond-
ing to a hub rolling torque of 3-5 lbs. ft. (4-7
