Rear wheel bearings

[MarkyG]

Hi,

I've asked this question in a roundabout way in another thread but not had any answer.

When replacing the rear wheel bearings on a Glanza V how tight should the hub nut be when re-assembling ?

I've seen "finger tight"

I've seen "finger tight plus a quarter turn"

I've even seen "tight" but don't believe that to be correct with tapered bearings

Anyone ?

i nip them up till they there is a small amount of friction (not stiff tho)

I did mine hand tight then just a 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Going to jack it up and check them again soon but it seems ok after about 1000 miles
