Hello all! I have my beloved wagon. Today I replaced the steering damper and checked the torque on the wheel bearings (12 lb/ft).

Duke is right! Often the procedure is to seat the races by torquing to about 12 lb-ft while spinning, then with the wheel stopped, loosen and set finger-tight. Resulting adjustment should leave a small end-play. Else the bearings will heat up quickly and bind, then destroy themselves.
