Front axle (lock)nut torque spec?
Newbie here...
1988 Ford F250 4x4, Dana 44 front axle.
Just did a brake job (whew!) and want to put the hubs/rotors back on. What is the torque specification on the axle lock nut thing? I would imagine it has to be correctly tightened for the bearings to be seated properly..
Thanks in advance!

snug it down till it is tight , back it off 1/4 turn , then just barely snug it back up, that sets your preload. make sure you bend the locking tabs over if its a 4X4 and put the cotter key in if its not,bob
