Need help. This is the second time I removed, hub, etc. to re-tighten the two 54mm nuts that hold my bearing in place. I followed the FSM and that didn't help. I also followed 4x4wire on knuckle rebuild, i.e.,tighten, turn left, turn right, etc. That didn't help. The bearings and races are in good condition. Re-packed them when I did knuckle rebuild. Got the drag to 12ft lbs. What am I missing here before I try for the 3rd time? Thanks. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Are you bending the tabs on the star washer in and out to lock the two nuts in place?

And do you have the large single-toothed thrust washer between the bearing and nuts too? It should go: outer bearing, big flat washer, nut, lockwasher, nut. Then bend the tabs on the lockwasher forward/backward on the inner and outer nuts. How tight are you tightening the outer nut? ![[Linked Image]](http://4x4wire.com/toyota/maintenance/front_end/reassembly/bearing.jpg)

is there a chance the races are not pressed in all the way?
Upon re-reading your post, it looks like you only re-packed them so they should be all the way on....

I have seen one that somehow walked it's way out of the groove and into the bottom of the threads... Good luck! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
