For 2wd, 7-8 inch-lbs.

Tighten to 18 inch-lbs while turning the wheel.
Loosen again.
Re-tighten to the 7-8 inch-lb rating.

Too much tension will cause overheating and will bur up the bearings.

The 4 studs that hold the hub assembly on are torqued to 133 ft. lbs. per guzzle's procedure.

Thank you.

47 mins to R&R.

This OEM Assy. lasted 18k. Normally get 30-35k.

35 inch tires.

Wife's 2000 Excursion got 85k. Replacements have about 80k. Same year same tires. Weird.

Hers eats brakes mine doesn't.

But I do tow the 4 place enclosed sled trailer. Hers doesn't.
