The rotor has been checked for run out. Only thing left is the bearing =

It's not a misprint, unless the missing space between the zero and the =
ell count.  It's mainly dyslexic or too-fast reading, or perhaps being =
more familiar with ft-lb convention than lb-ft that led him to see 101.

Can someone explain the 101 ft.-lb. spec or is that just a misprint?

And I lost a front wheel on my TR3B at 70 mph on I-70 in 2014.  I've not =
quite gotten over that episode yet,  Yes, don't fool around with wheel =
bearings!

=20

The root cause of my wheel-fell-off episode was a restorer who was more =
used to MG bearing preloads than a TR3's non-preloaded bearings.  He =
read this part of the Red Book service instructions as 101 lb=C2=B7ft, =
not 10 lb=C2=B7ft.  Yikes.

This happened in western Ohio, not too far from Macy's Garage as it =

the wheel coming off, they know my car and were able to take it into =
their shop that afternoon while I flew home.

So listen to the voice of two of us with scary experiences.  Take care =

The hub rotates smoothly and there is no noise.

The TR6 uses a similar vertical link setup as the Stag. The hub bearings =
