Front Wheel Bearings

  1. Using spring scale attached to wheel stud, measure starting torque required to rotate rotor. Starting torque should be 2.2-6.6 lbs. (1-3 kg). If adjustment is required, bend lock washer away from lock nut. Remove bearing lock nut and lock washer.
  2. Using a socket and foot-pound torque wrench, while spinning hub assembly, tighten bearing nut to 58 ft. lbs. (79 N.m). Loosen bearing nut. Using INCH-pound torque wrench, tighten bearing nut to 80-115 INCH lbs. (9-13 N.m). Install lock washer and lock nut. Tighten lock nut to 44-66 ft. lbs. (60-90 N.m). Bend tab on lock washer against lock nut.
  3. Using spring scale, recheck starting torque. Starting torque should be 2.2-6.6 lbs. (1-3 kg). Apply a sealing compound to hub and drive axle flange (if equipped) prior to installation.
