[Vwdiesel] rear wheel bearing preload

[James Hansen]

repack wheel bearings, install, tighten the nut until it is just tight 
by little wrench, (not gorilla tight), spin the wheel- which should have 
noticeable drag, then back off the nut until it spins freely.
THere should be just barely perceptible play with the tire on when you 
rock the wheel in and out.
