Warn hub question
I am putting a new brake rotor on because the old one was cracked all the way through in 3 places. I took off the wheel, brake caliper and manual lockout cover. Next i removed the spring and gear under the cover and the pain in the but snap ring...lol. Pulled out the half round lock ring and removed the outer nut. I was told there were 2 nuts a inner and a outer but there was only one. I next slid off the hub and rotor assembly. Took off the rotor and put on the new one ( hammered the studs back in ). Slid the assembly back one and put in the tapered bearing back in and put the nut back on.
Here is my question. What is the torque spec on this nut? I 've heard 50ft-lbs while turning the hub then back off 30-20ft-lbs. Is this correct? I've also heard 50ft-lbs then just back it off a 1/4 turn. Which one is correct? Also are there supposed to be some spacers in there? There weren't any in there at all? Also will the brake rotor pull tight when the lug nuts are put on? I didn't hammer them in quite tight enough.
Thanks in advance!

Your studs should fully seat but don't try it with the wheels installed. Get some washers and an appropriate size nut and set them. If you use a lug nut put the flat side toward the hub. I'll have to review the service manual for your other questions. Somebody will probably chime in before then.

Thanks for the replys. Thats exactly what i was thinking someone changed it over and ended up with some extra parts. I've been driving it like that for over a year now. Will it hurt anything if i continue driving like that? Thanks in advance!
