Okay so tighten by hand then slightly more with pliers! Got it. But no it was not in any accidents that I know of there is a dent on the back right fender but that's all no damage up front.
Even if he did a so so packing job, it shouldn't burn up in 200 miles. I still put a glob of grease in my palm, then rotate bearing into grease until it comes out rollers. Your grease packer should have done same thing. As long as your real light on your bearing tightening, just barely past being able to turn with hands, your fine. When you pull r/side off this time, see if bearings held grease. Your using new grease seals? Right! Was this car in a right side accident, that your aware of?

Yes I replaced the first rotar because part of the bearings melted inside it and it was no longer smooth this time I caught it before it could happen to this rotary so it's still smooth for the bearings to fit in and spindle as well. I am going to pull it back apart in a week. Hopefully sooner but I will take the tire and rotor off Saturday and post another picture!!Just trying to play detective here! When you pull it apart, inspect bearings and spindle, and report. Your bearings are what they call preload bearing. That's why you rotate rotor, tighten nut a little then loosen, then tighten lightly. It preloads the bearing. Be sure to replace rotor, if you haven't already. Do you have aftermarket rims on your car? Are they clearing caliper ok? Something is not kosher, and between us we'll figure it out. Any members in the Chicago area, that can stop by his place? I live in San Francisco, so not possible for me!

Nah, i can only move threads to different areas on the forum. You'll have to get a moderator to do that.@Davedacarpainter can you merge his two threads Dave?
Yes I didDid you put the bearing cap that taps into the rotor back on.....no mention of that ?
