Hello all. I just replaced the from right brake disk along with all new inner/ outer races/bearings. My question is that I think that either the pads are dragging on the new disk or that my bearings may need more attention. When doing the bearings, I put the bearings in a baggie, squeezed lots of grease in and then added a little extra grease around the bearings It's hard to say if that was enough or not. I also tightened it down until I couldn't move the thrust washer and then started backing it off until i could just move it and the wheel turned freely and there was no "rocking" movement. It turns freely. BUT, just out of curiosity, I felt it the wheel at the grease cap and it was hotter than the left one which I did not do. Did I perhaps not get enough grease in there or could my pads be dragging more? I'm just a little paranoid because I'm about to leave for a 10 day trip and don't want to do roadside maintenance. Thanks, Aaron '85 Westy
