No Washers!

Use Locktite and a torque wrench. To really do it right, replace those
bolts with grade 12.9.

Subject: Washers on wheel bearing housing?

I'm doing rear wheel bearings on a '86...

42.2 of Bentley looks like it shows a washer
under the bolt heads that hold the bearing housing
to the trailing arm.

Mine don't have no steenking washers...

Sooo, should they?

Anyone out there done rear bearings lately and
remember if there was washers or not?

Thanks,
Steve
