Tom Green of Vans tells me that the main gear roller bearings like to be
tight, that I could even run 4-6 in/lbs of torque on the nut.  He says they
are different from ball bearings.  I have never heard such a thing and
wondered what is the general consensus on this. My outside bearing races
have worn after 1000 hrs.  I always tightened then and then backed the nut
off one face before cottering.
