Thanks for your timely response....I don't have an IR thermometer (may have just found another reason to get one) however going by touch it is much hotter than the other 3 rears. We have used both methods - we used the TM spec of torqueing the inner nut to 50 ft/lbs and the outer to 100-200...

Greetings All...I have a perplexing issue I sure could use your help with. One of the rear hubs on the Deuce has a very warm hub after even short runs. We torn the hub down, repacked the bearings (with high-temp grease, no noticeable wear markings on the bearing or race), reinstalled the hub...
