front axle nut torque specs?
I have a 2006 2wd f-150. The right front wheel bearing went out and I just replaced the rotor assembly. Since it has the sealed bearings pressed into the rotor and upon removal I realized that the nut was much much tighter than I thought it should be, I want to know the correct torque setting for putting it back on. The part is not cheap and the Ford dealership won't tell me. Does any one here know or have a manual?
Thanks,
Chris

2wd is quite high for spindle nut . Nut One time use only , 295 foot pounds . I have a 300 pound wrench but there is a way to do it by using the length of the bar you are using . It is very important to get it close .
Threads are stretched to yield point if nut fails your wheel could come off .
