I just went out and retorqued the spindle nut. I even oiled the
threads lightly first, but the bearing is still loose.
It's a simple enough procedure, so all i can think of is that the
new bearing is bad.
It's of course possible, but i really wouldn't expect it. I got it
from Rock Auto, too, so returning it will be an extra hassle.
