So I torqued the wheel bearing nut to 50 ft-lbs, back off 1/4 turn, like the book says. The wheel would spin pretty easily. Then torqued the second nut (locknut). The wheel would then spin a little less easily. I put the disc brake calipers back on. I never did crack open the hydraulics. Just slid them off the disc, and then back on. They seemed to open a bit to make this possible. But once it's all put back together, now the wheel does not spin easily, and I can hear the brakes dragging. Are the wheel bearings to tight? Or is the brake drag the real issue? If start the engine and operate the brakes (power) a few times, will it loosen up? Or do I need to drive it and actually use the brakes a few times?
