You also have not spoken to the good suggestion to check the cups and cones for wear. In addition it's not considered good practice to reuse the balls, though that's not the source of your problem.
Thanks. I did mention in my reply to sparkplug that the cones and cups were fine. I used a ball point pen (also in another video) to see if there were spots that were worn out. I did not reuse the balls either.
I definitely put 10 in but I will recheck of something's fallen out. I did not put the locknut on the cone (not cone nut
) before testing. I put the cone on, screwed it in, spun the axle. Too tight. Loosen up. Axle rotates but also rattles.
