Mainair Blade wheel bearing torque?

Postby nickjaxe » Sat Nov 15, 2008 10:42 pm

Hi guys I am having trouble finding this out, but I need to know the torque for the wheel bearing retaining nuts on the Mainair Blade trike, the bearing are semi sealed so I cannot tell if there roller or tapper bearings,

I have asked elsewhere with no joy,

nick.

Sealed or semi sealed bearings will be non tapered.
Hope that helps.

Check the bearing numbers against a catalogue (on SKF's website).

If that does not help phone Lone Ranger aka Robert Gassmann! He might be able to tell you.
