Smitty,

"I bet the inner race was even more torn up."
I guess I could dremel through the carrier to look at it. Be happy to if anyone is curious.

I probably benefit sometimes by not reading the manual, because I've always adjusted wheel bearings by feel-- snug it, give the wheel a spin, snug again and back off about finger tight, with new long fiber grease in it. I never even suspected a Volvo might be different. By the way, that was an SKF bearing, I think the parent of volvo cars back when, or do I have that confused.

Thanks for your comments and story.
