Simple, but stupid, question for you guys.
How easy or tight should new rear wheel bearings be for a 1G AWD? Should they have to be nearly pressed in, or can a few light hammer smacks get them in?
If you were to grab the hub on a 100% brand new wheel bearing setup, and yank it...should it come out? Or should it stay in the hole? How are the tolerances/tightness levels compared to the front wheel bearings?
Tried searching, but google just refuses to actually search for what you type anymore. So, I need yalls advice.
Edit - Nevermind. Found my answer. You have to press them on the hub, but they should go into the knuckle with minimal effort. Saw a Jafro video right after I posted this. Doh.
