Thinking the above post is a sarcastic one bit never can tell on message boards.
Guess I’m old school where you kept some play in the wheel bearings, at least tapered roller bearings. So tighten them to seat, then spin the wheel, then back of to allow free play and install cotter pin. Don’t forget to safety wire the wheel pant Bolt!
Can’t imagine torquing the wheel bearings. These aren’t Boeing’s!!
Maybe Beringer uses ball bearings and if they have a preset spacer between the ball bearings then can see them recommending torquing them. If no spacer, that’s properly set up, can’t imagine torquing them either. Just going to preload a ball bearing that’s not designed and engineered for preload.
Also don’t see a problem with drilling new holes as long as you’ve checked everything to be sure it’s not another problem that’s causing the difference.
Again old school but don’t see the need for these different bearing systems on landing gear. With a good side load from a cross wind or botched landing tapered roller bearing is the best.
