I am at work and don't have any of my manuals here and at lunch, I need to check a wheel bearing nut as I just replaced my wheel bearings a couple of days ago on the front passenger side.

I've searched and searched for the torque specs for this and I can't find it. I thought they were listed on this website but I can't find it.

Anyone know?

 

Can`t find it either. However for a E350 the final torque is 17INCH lbs. and if necessary, back off for the next available cotter pin hole.

 

According to a mechanic friend I have just talked to it's 15 ft./lbs., back off, 12 ft./lbs., back off, then 7.5 ft./lbs.

It was loose but my problem is much worse. I'm going to post a new topic.

 

Just found this: Tighten hub nut to 30 ft-lbs while turning wheel. Back off 2 turns. While rotating brake disc, tighten to 17-24 ft-lbs. Loosen nut 175°. Tighten nut to 17 IN-LBS.

Note the last torque is in in-lbs. That works out to 1.5 ft-lbs. Maybe that's why I have to do wheel bearings so much. I've been over tightening them.
