Reply to "Wheel bearing replacement"

noquarterMember

Hi all. A question. I've had a loose rear right wheel. I replaced the bearings, and in the process tightened that unique nut as much as I dared, using a hammer and a screwdriver. Yes I know, not good, but I haven't got a socket that fits. Worked fine for some time, then the wheel was loose again. I thought new bearings again, but I only had to tighten the unique nut almost ½ turn. That fixed it. But now it's loose again.
What do I do, is this just about not having it properly tightened or could there be something else wrong? No problems on the left wheel.

Do I have to buy that socket (where?) and tighten to what lbs/ft?
Any help will be appreciated
