wheel bearing torque?

Postby clubcustoms » Sun Apr 26, 2009 7:25 pm

Hey guys...I had the death wobble the other day and have now replaced my u-joints, brakes, and drag link...my question now that im putting it back together is what to torque the spindle nuts to? The truck is a w-350 dually and It has (2) 2 9/16 nuts with the locking ring between them. I seem to remember that you had to preload the first nut and then back it off and the second is like a jamb nut... Please help if ya have the specs...
Thanks! :?

From the FMS;
Torque the inner nut to 50'lbs to seat the bearing. Back it off and re-tighten to 30-40'lbs while rotating the hub. Loosen the lock not 135°-150°. Install the lock ring. Tighten lock nut to 65'lbs.
You should wind up with a .001" to .010" end play.
RIP 91.5 W250 5 speed. The great experiment.
