Question....I thought there should be a void between the inner and outer bearing for some heat dissipation. Is this true or false. My sundance doesn't have more than a few thousand miles at the dead most. I don't mind tearing it apart for inspection but i don't know if it is necessary if there is no end play. I want to check the adjustment of the brakes this spring. If it is in the air, i will check end play. I have given several squirts per hub each year but never enough to push old grease out the front bearing. Is it really a good idea to pump them full (while in the air rotating the wheel) until old grease pushes out the front?
If i do pull everything apart, is 50ft/lbs about right for the castle nut? I have never been too good at "the feel" of snug enough. I have torque wrenches and almost trust them more than anything.
Thanks!
