Question : the manual says that if the wheel does not spin freely it will need to add shims , if the wheel has too much free play , shims needs to be taken out .
Correct.
Ok, I'm confused, my normal state. ;D What am I not understanding?
Dick and Marco are correct. If the bearing play is too loose, you remove a shim. If it's too tight, you add a shim.
