Well everything went smoothly except the bearing lock nut. I had the wrong tool for it and so we could not torque them to the factory specs.
I dont have a lot of experience w/pathys however if what you are feeling is a grinding sound when braking, it is a brake pad or rotor issue. If it is a constant grinding sound then it is a bearing issue. The brake pad or rotor grinding will only be felt in the pedal
as opposed to a wheel bearing grinding you will feel in the floorboards mostly. Another way to rule out wheel bearings and or to tell wich side bearing is noisy is while driving your pathy, around turns the loaded wheel will be noisy. For example going around a left hand turn the right wheel is loaded with the most weight and around a right hand turn, well you get the picture . Sooo if you go around a turn and the noise or grinding appears or gets worse then the opposite bearing is bad and or is not tourqued to speck. Even if you find it to be a brake issue, I would still beg borough or steal the tool you need to tourque your wheel bearing properly. If your friend is an ASE certified tech he should have what you need.
Hope this helps
