so before i left on a business trip i replaced both front and rear wheel bearings. everything went really smooth till i tried to seat the bearings at the base of the pocket. of course the first side went in easy enough but after flipping the rims and throwing in the spacers the second side gave me some issues. to be more specific the 2nd side found the spacer before the bearing seated which of course left the bearings bound from the pressure against the spacer. So here comes the question .
should the bearings be seated all the way in the pocket or left out a bit for the spacer to have just a bit of free play?
unfortuantely i didnt pay much attention to where the originals were sitting before they were removed and of course the book doesnt say anything about how to seat them.
any and all advice is welcome!
