Hello Rory,

The R & R is pretty standard stuff here, everything clean, new race's seated
squarely, repacked with a good quality wheel bearing grease. and most of all
.......DO NOT USE "CHINESE" BEARINGS. This is one place where made in USA is
very important! The Chinese bearings just wont last.
    Torque the nut until you can just move the washer with a screw driver.
Drive a few days and recheck torque! By the way the Bentley has a spec for
the torque, so refer to it if you have a Bentley, and if you don't have
one.......WHY NOT? :^)

Just purchased inner and outer bearings and seals all 'round for my  '90
.This will be my first  Vanagon R&R, does anyone have input as far as
anything I should be looking out for or trouble spots that you've ran into
in the past? Thanks
