Wheel Bearing Adusting Nut Size

It is more than interesting that there is such a difference in the general Timken procedure and the Dodge-Plymouth procedure.
I think the idea of preseating them at something more than 90 in-lbs. makes sense. My own experience has been that following the FSM with disk brakes, I'm often retightening the bearings after a few thousand miles. I don't know that the threads on the spindles of eaither the K-H or the Bendix brakes can take 50 ftlbs without damage, so I'm not suggesting that.
