Hello,

I just replaced both of the front wheel bearings on my '19 Raptor and didn't realize you had to pull vacuum on the IWEs before installing the new ones. Am I royally ******** something up by not doing that? I was able to align the teeth of the new bearings with the IWE and they went in without any issues, everything rotated just fine before tightening the bolts. I've driven the truck roughly less than 100 miles since install and haven't had any sensors go off or anything.

This is my first Raptor so I'm still learning quite a few things about the IWE systems in these trucks. Any insight would be appreciated.
