Spindle Nut Torque Specs??

Hello All,

I just finished replacing the rotors/pads on my '93 F150 with Dana 44 front end. I was wondering if anybody knew what the torque specs were for both the inner and outer spindle nut (see #2 and #4 below)? I know the diagram below isn't for my front end, but the set-up seems to be similar.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Well, generally people want do it right the first time. Especially doing wheel bearings. Your bearings are either going to fry from being too tight or wheel will possibly fall off from not being tight enough.
