yes I packed the bearings. Then i tightened the adjustment nut to 90lbs, and backed off just a little.. the rotor is difficult to turn, doesnt feel right
90ft/lb has to be a typo , not the first time , that is way to tight for a bearing to begin with , I can see 90 inch lbs.
I have never torqued front wheel bearings, always did it by feel. I have to change that , I did torque them once , when working on the mustang that belonged to a friend with a PhD in Physics ...

Got everything put together right. Went on my maiden voyage last night, and didnt get too far, horrible noise. Turns out I put in 1 brake pad backwards, chewed up the backside of the rotor  , but thats what i get for being impatient. Got that turned around and the alignment done today. Drives decent, but there is definitely a vibration, I think its the tranny mount.
