wheel bearing, need fast answer.



So I've read everything I could find about doing the wheel bearings, thought I did everything right but could not get the castle nut back far enough for the cotter pin, I'm going in the a.m. to get the races pressed in as I'm not sure if I did that right, the question is; the holes on the spindle for the cotter pin....are they all the same distance from some point or are they staggered?

It was the races, a mechanic used a very nifty tool to pound them in and I had plenty of room for the cotter pins.
