torque for spindle nut?
2004 f-150 xlt, front wheel rotors, abs, six lug, with the sealed bearings in the rotor, removed rotor for turning, cannot find the torque spec for the spindle nut. i have the rotor off and need to put it together before work in the morning. local auto parts store only has manuals up to 03. anybody know what the torque is? i think this torque preloads the bearings. thanks for the help in advance.

spindle nut torque
thanks very much. i can put it together now. i was not ready for this job and don't have a new nylock nut but will put the old one on with loctite until i can get to the ford dealer. brakes starting grinding with no warning, were touching metal on the extreme outside and inside edge of the rotor working surface. no manual, never saw a brake rotor setup like this before. this has been a real pain, i stopped and bought disk pads, turned out to be the wrong ones, runner heading to the parts house now. was quoted 50 bucks for new rotors, wrong, when i got there the correct rotors out the door were 162 each, with bearings installed. shop could not turn the rotors because of the lathe configuration. i am starting to think ford, tough instead of ford tough. thanks again.
