No!
Definitely not 200lbfts
That instruction above is not for use on E series vans.
It is clearly labeled "heavy duty " trucks and even has a picture of a tractor truck on it.
Also if you read the directions it refers to spindles which have two nuts, or the type with a jam nut. E series vans have neither.
No offense jimandnena but that info is absolutely all wrong for use on this forum.
I personally set wheel bearings by "feel" but it's too hard to type on iPhone screen.
WHATEVER YOU DO, don't torque to 200ftlbs!!

20 foot pounds while rotating the rotor, back off a half turn, and retighten to 20 INCH POUNDS is about average. 20 ft-lbs is enough to seat the bearings, 20 in-lbs is enough to allow for heat expansion.
Sorry for the bad vector, PA!

What? Thanks for the backup! That is certainly not the right listing for any passenger vehicle. I pulled it from my reference list without checking.

That will work, just need to get enough pressure to set the bearings while spinning. I can get to 25 ftlbs with just hand pressure so that's what I normally do. The final torque is the important one.
Good luck, jim.
