Default Cone bearings tightening

Hi there,

Somebody knows how to tight the cone bearings on four wheels? (XJS convertible 2+2 1996).

Thanks!

The rear hub bearings use the same preload shims that were fitted at the factory. The factory already did the hard work to set up the preload.

The fronts are just the normal 'snug-up-the-nut' and feel for play/no-play in the bearings.
