I have recently experienced a wheel bearing failure on the front of my 2000 400TRX FW. The rebuild seems pretty straight foreward. I am having difficulty with finding the torque value or method for the front axle nut tightening. Looking for help on values or technique - replaced many 2WD Ford front wheel bearings over the years.

Also, what are some aftermarket ideas for the replacement of the carburetor primer plunger. Mine has dried out and not building pressure.

Im not sure the torque i put them tight, had some new one back off after they broke in and started wobbling. or maybe i did like with a 2 wheel drive. I know what your thinking, but its not taper bearings they are flat one row rides on the cv shaft and one on the hub thing. Yes you can over tighten but it wont lock up the bearings. Just put it pretty tight till the holes line up to put in the cotter pin. Check em after you ride a few hours.
