Front Rotor/Bearing Questions
After placing the rotor onto the spindle, I tightened the large spindle castle nut to 4 foot-pounds and backed off enough to get the cotter pin in. I thought the rotor turned turned too stiffly, so I backed off another notch on the castle nut. I turns relatively easily, but will not free spin (in other words it doesn't have a roulette wheel free spin). Is there any way someone can describe how free the rotor should spin. Was 4 foot-pounds too much to begine with?
Next question: I packed the bearings, and smeared the rollers and cones with extra grease. Is this enough? Should I have filled the inside rotor cavity between the outside and inside bearings with extra grease? I did squirt a little in there, but maybe I should have put a whole bunch in there.
Thanks

The hub will not spin like a roulette wheel. The hub end play should be about .002"
