Wheel Bearing torque
I am replacing the front brakes, rotors and wheel bearings on my 99 F250 SD (2 wheel drive). What is the correct torque for the front wheel bearings. Thanks for your help in advance.

WELCOME to FTE!
My 2001 manual says:
Super Duty F-250, F-350 shown, Super Duty F-450, F-550 similar.
1. Remove the hub cap from the hub.
2. Remove the cotter pin and the castellated nut.
3. While rotating the wheel, tighten the adjusting nut to specification as illustrated to seat the bearings. (21ft/lbs)
4. Back off the adjusting nut until loose.
5. While rotating the wheel, tighten the adjusting nut to specification as illustrated. (18in/lbs - INCH lbs!) Torque required to rotate the hub should be 2 Nm (18 lb/in).
6. Install the castellated nut and insert a new cotter pin.
7. Install the hub cap.
