Wheel Bearing Adjustment: Adjustment: Notes

NOTE: Correct wheel bearing adjustment is very important on vehicles with disc brakes as too much endplay in bearings will cause disc wobble and brake damage.
NOTE: On all cars with disc brakes, caliper assembly must be removed before disc and hub to work on wheel bearings. Caliper-to-disc clearance is very critical on some cars. Be sure to observe all cautions. It is not necessary to disconnect brake lines to remove caliper assembly. Wire caliper assembly up out of way (do not hang from brake line).
