    Rear wheel end float

    Just had my 2003 HD MOT tested. Everything was ok but they picked up that there was a small amount of End float on both rear wheels as if the bearings were possibly not tight enough. Can anyone tell me if it is normal to have this slight end float and also what torque should the rear wheel bearings be tightened up to.

    Don't want to start fixing things that aren't broke

    Thanks

    I can't say that I notice any end float on mine although this is a bit subjective,

    Tighten the thing up to the torque spec Stewie listed in the other thread and you should be ok.
