Mk2 Transit, knocking from front

Just remember the taper bearings need play in them, over tighten them and you will destroy them in no time, sometimes, if in doubt, give them more play than less to be safe.

Cheers. Same as a Landrovers bearings then. I set them so there was a tiny amount of play.

I think one side must need a little tweak as I can hear the disc rubbing in corners sometimes.

Don't know how correct this is with larger vehicles but I was always told to adjust taper bearings with a pair of pliers end on to the nut. The idea being you just can't go wild and over tighten them no matter how stong your grip.

^^^ that wouldn't be a bad shout if you were unsure

That's how I was taught, always works

I think I must just be a pussey lol, never had an issue with over tightening things myself. Then again, I struggle to undo stuff that others have tightened up so I'm prob just weak. Haha
