Hi, about 5000 miles ago while I was routinely checking my car over I noticed the n/s front wheel bearing was a bit loose. I adjusted the centre nut and tightened it a bit so I could feel and hear but not see any play.
I wonder now if the very slight brake drag I've detected on the same wheel is related to the bearing, I haven't jacked it up yet. Does the fact it required ajustment mean it's worn out, there's no noise or rumbling. Should I have repacked it? How hard are they to change, can you remove the caliper without having to disturb things in a way that requires Star? It's an SBC system, thanks.
