Create a better profile of your truck. ie. look at mine.

Do you have 2wd? is it a regular wheel bearing setup? what torque are you using?

I believe the proper value is 295-300 lb-ft.
I know from replacing my 05 rotors 5 years ago, the spindle nut requires significant force to remove and significant force to tighten to spec.

If you can't turn the rotor at 300 lb-ft torque on the spindle nut, something is wrong.
