Wheel Bearing Torque

While spinning drum/rotor in forward direction tighten spindle nut to approx. 5 ft/lbs. This seats the bearings. Back off nut one flat then tighten finger tight. Bearings should have zero preload to allow for expansion.

But you can't really accurately measure 5 ft-lbs. That why the FSM says to go to 70 in-lbs (same thing almost, but much more accurately measured).
