Hey guys,
Im replacing my wheel bearing on my drivers side and i was wondering what torque those studs on the needle bearing side need to be at or if they will torque themselves when i torque them to the truck. any help would be appreciated thanks a ton!

 

Just make sure they're in as far as they'll go, and they'll be fine when you torque the nuts.

LocTite on them couldn't hurt, though...

So you are replacing the hub? Do what Pop said and put some loctite on run them in as far as you can.

 

Yea im replacing the hub but the studs dont come already screwed in. Thanks guys appreciate the replies ill just loctite em and tighten em as good as possible and put em on the truck thanks appreciate it.

 

Yeah, they won't come out. Use the nuts from the original install and tighten them down. Good to go.

 

Torque spec for the hub-to-knuckle nuts is 133 lb-ft.

 

thanks guys appreciate it, will i need a alignment after replacing this thing? I didnt see any spots for adjustment but i just wanna be sure.

 

If you did not remove the knuckle, no worries. Nothing will change. If you do remove the knuckle you need to pay attention to the shim/plate and reassemble the way it came off.

 

Alright thanks Mike.
