1994 auto hub torque specs ?

Post by 94EddieBauer »

Hey guys, I'm replacing my auto hubs with warn manual premiums in the morning, as well as replacing my inner/outer wheel bearings as well as the spindle bearings. Ive searched but cannot find the torque specs to set the hubs at?? I've heard you torque them to a certain degree then back off 1/2 turn and torque again. It's a 1994 with auto hubs from the factory. Any help would be greatly appreciated, im also out of town with no computer acces.

Thanks a bunch for any help,
Patrick

For new bearings I have always torqued them to 60 in lbs. Make sure you tighten them and back them off a couple of times while spinning the rotor and that the bearings are packed well with a good quality grease.

Some folks just barely snug them and then back them off but I find that the bearings run kind of lose afetr they break in when setting them up like that.
