I just got done installing my rear bearings. One side spins perfectly fine. The other has a "tight" spot in it. It's not all the way around, just in a single area. It's not so tight it can't turn...it's just not an even revolution. The other side spins so freely that I want to make sure something isn't wrong.

I also don't see why so many say to leave them alone because they're so hard to do. I thought it was very easy.

My guess for the tight spot is the that dust cover might be rubbing something, maybe the strut housing, maybe the seal. There is a spec for drag in the FSM if you're really wanting to be sure about it.

What's hard is getting the nut off without damaging the threads on the stub axle, especially for people who don't have an impact gun.
