Hi,
I installed new bearings on the right front wheel Friday afternoon before going away for the weekend. First time I tried doing that.
Was nice and tight when I left home but when getting there it had lots of slack and was humming. This was after 150 miles. I tightened it a bit which helped a lot but it was still occasionally humming and a bit lose but not much.

Came home (another 150 miles) and my neighbour who works on cars a lot told me to tighten it a bit more. "You can't really over tighten it" he said. I tightened it a bit more but not a lot.
When I first installed it I followed Bentley's description which said tighten it to 1.5Nm. This time I might have done 8-10Nm but my torque wrench doesn't really go below 29Nm which is why I at no point have been certain what it was torqued to. Well, I test drove it for 15min and when getting out of the car I saw smoke comming from the hub. Not good.

I turned the spindle nut counter clockwise one hole which made it really lose but turning it back to the original hole it gripped again. I've left it in the hole just before it gets tight.

Now my questions are:

1. Have I damaged anything? Should I get new bearings again or re-grease it?

2. How do I now adjust it correctly?

Thanks a lot in advance

Cheers
