60-80 ft lb for the axle shaft bolts (with thread lock)
150 ft lb for the lug nuts
If these numbers are wrong or if anyone has better info please let me know. Thanks,
Yeap, those are the numbers. I had a hell of a time finding them, and ended up finding them at the ford garage, after looking though one of their huge manuals. IIRC for used bearins, you only back them off 3 clicks. But its been a while since I had mine apart. (this would be assuming your reinstalling the old bearings.) As far as the spindle socket, there is basically two. One that does the front axles, and chevy axles, and the ford sterling socket. But I havent done anything to the D80s or larger yet, so in MY world, theres two.
