After changing brake discs, I can't seem to get the front left wheel right again. Tried adjusting the wheel bearing several times, after driving a short distance slack returns, brakes shake and it pulls to the left.
Could it be that the bearing doesn't seat properly, is the inner bearing shot, or do I have to do any tricks to it? Remember, I'm a wheel bearing newbie... The shop manual doesn't seem to mention any special procedure.
I've been told (by knowledgeable friends, at least I belive them to be) that one way of getting the bearings right is to tighten the nut tight, then release and retighten slowly until slack is gone. What confuses me, is that the nut seems to go further in if I repeat the procedure - this leads me to believe that the problem is either that I haven't seated the bearing properly or that it is hot to pieces.
