I am just putting in new wheel bearings on a utility trailer. I have packed them well with wheel bearing grease, installed new seals and installed it all on the hub. How tight should I put the star nut on? It seems as if one opening for the cotter pin is loose and the next one is quite tight.
That star nut your talking about can be removed from the nut...And is adjustable to fit in the right location. Hand tight While spinning the tire works best for your bearings...
