    New wheel bearings and a bit of my soul trashed... Help. Me.

    the preload spin is unnecessary. counterproductive snd a waste of time. but it's not harmful generslly. preload is to seat bearing in race, and squeeze all excess grease out of the bearing.that's all. spinning it should have caused no harm. I don't beleive. but...obviously something did. and...
