Front Hub 4 Stud Torque Spec?
The new replacement hubs for my 04 F-250SD require 4 new (or reused) studs to be installed on the backside of the hub/wheel bearing.
Question: When installing the four studs, is the correct method to double-nut fasten the studs until seated (to no defined torque)?
I understand there is a controlled torque on the 4 nuts once the hub is installed into the knuckle .
Thanks very much for any help!

Thanks! That appears to be the consensus. Does the Ford shop manual call for any LocTite on the studs (hub side)? I have no intent of using LocTite unless the Ford shop manual says to do so.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Thats quite the conflict if they are both Ford manuals. I wonder if one is a misprint.

Hub assembly hard to turn after torque
After torquing the four bolts, should the hub assembly be hard to turn? If it is what could be the problem?
BTW, turns freely with no noise before tightening.
Thanks in advance!

I just installed a new spicer axle shaft, put it all back together and the bearing is sticking pretty good. The bearing didn’t seem to have any issues when taken off.
