W114 - rotors and wheel bearings, front.
I've installed more than my share of tapered wheel bearings in assorted cars over the years, do I really need to go buy a mag mount for my dial indicator and set the minuscule amount of free play the book calls for on these or can I
do what feels right and tighten them till there is no observable play and the washer behind the hold down nut still moves reasonably freely?
On a related note, please tell me it's uncommon for the runout on new rotors with perfectly clean mating surfaces to be out of spec? That was a hell of a lot of time consuming work to put a set of rotors and calipers on, they are Balo rotors for what that's worth.
