Dexter website:
Thank you for the dexter link. I believe that is how I am doing it. I had a mechanic working for me for awhile, even he looked at it and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Only thing that stood out was how much lube to add through the zerk fitting. I have never added enough grease through the zerk fitting to get the old grease to flow out of the end bearing, let alone flow out until new grease is visible. I thought that would be too much grease, as the ezlube spindles push the grease in to the back bearing first. This would require the entire spindle to be filled with grease, which I thought you did not want. There is quite a bit of grease in the cavity between the two bearings in the hub, but not filled. Comments on this?
As far as preload goes, I have run them so when you grab the tire you can just feel a bit of wobble on the rim moving. In the past, I preload the nut until this wobble just snugs up, but not any tighter. I do tighten it up more at first to make sure the bearings are seated and not being held out by the grease in them.
