hello,

well you've got a problem if you adjusted your wheel bearing to .1 to .2 mm. those numbers equate to .004 to .008. trust me i am a machinist. if you adjusted to your .010 to .020 you have almost 3 times the clearance your spec calls out.

another issue at hand is if your original bearings failed corrosion and pitting then you needed to change the bearing race as well. if you don't you'll just transfer over the bad from the original bearing to that new bearing you just installed.

to convert mm to fraction is = mm / 25.4 = fraction so .1 mm / 25.4 = .00394. just like 1 meter = 39.4 inches.

you won't find too many people trying to dial in their bearing adjustment. because depending on the length of the moment arm you are creating by locating the ADG your travel is increased as you move out and conversly your travel is lessened as you move closer to the center point. and actually i believe the dimension on the spec is for the bearing face to the race. not how much the caliper moves.

i'm sure some will agree with the method of spinning the wheel and while it is turning use a larger set of water pump pliers and snug up on the nut. do this 3 or 4 times then back it off an RCH. this method should be good to go. i'm sure others will disagree too cause they have their way to do this job.

oh and to give you an idea of what .003 " looks like, pull a hair out of your head. now slit in half and you would have appx .002 to .003 of an inch.

good luck!
