Hi guys, I replaced the rear discs/bearing when I first bought the car as the one rear bearing was toast. I bought Pagid discs with bearings pre set. The bearings have covered about 300 miles and are now droning like mad. At the time I fitted them I had no torque wrench so I nipped the big hub nut up with a breaker bar so it was fairly tight (didn't go all he-man just tightened properly.
ive done some googling and found 175nm banded around as a setting, just tried it and sheared the socket extension off! So the million dollar (and probably unanswerable) question is are the bearings over tightened or far too loose??
I appreciate its a very open ended question but would welcome peoples thoughts. Car passed mot yesterday with no play in rear bearings.
