What is the method for adjusting the preload of wheel hub bearings?

The method for adjusting the preload of wheel hub bearings is as follows: 1. After positioning the outer wheel hub bearing correctly, turn the wheel hub while tightening the bearing adjustment nut; 2. Once the wheel hub is firmly fixed, loosen the adjustment nut by one-sixth to one-quarter of a turn; 3. Tighten the lock nut and conduct a test with a pulling force of 200 to 300 N, stopping the tightening of the nut when the wheel hub just begins to rotate; 4. After turning the wheel hub left and right 2 to 3 times, loosen the adjustment nut until the wheel hub can be rotated with a force of 10 to 25 N. The wheel hub bearing is one of the key components of a vehicle, primarily responsible for bearing weight, providing precise guidance for the rotation of the wheel hub, and withstanding axial and radial loads.
