Re: front axle bearing torque specs

got the bearings done. here is the scoop.
you will need a 24mm socket, 15mm end wrench and 32mm socket, and a good breaker bar.
the proccess is pretty easy.
1. remove wheel and caliper. (good time to replace pads)
2. use 32mm to remove spindle nut.
3. use 24mm to remove caliper mount. these are tight and in a difficult place a breaker bar and pipe work well (no room for impact or hammer)
4. use 15mm to remove the 4 bolts holding bearing assemble.
5. clean and reverse order to assemble.
this is also a very good time to check and replace rotor and grease frontend and tie rods.
with right tools is about 30-45mins per side.
I was unable to locate in torque specs.
