List,
 
I'm attempting to set the end-float on my front wheel bearings and am having
trouble grasping when it is correct. It seems to me that .002 - .004" of
end-float is too little to tell by moving the hub, it's not too far from
zero. When swapping shims trying to identify the zero end-float point what
should it feel like? How subtle a difference is "free spinning" and
"starting to bind"? I understand the process but am having trouble with
determining when it is right. Thanks...
