Hey everyone I need the spindle nut torque spec, I torqued it to 150ft lbs last night and did some looking around online and I've seen some places say 155-210 ft lbs I'm hoping one of y'all can give me the right torque.

1998 K1500 Z71

Thanks

Was you replacing the bearing?

I basically rebuilt the whole front end. Brake pads, rotors, passenger side half shaft, seals and bearings in front diff, and both hubs. I'd like to think she's ready for another 200,000.

Sounds good.

The new wheel bearing usually have the axel nut torque specs in instruction sheet.
And do not forget to torque the axel lug nuts.
Good luck

I got the hub assemblies from O' Reilly's and they was nothin in the box which I felt was odd, But it did have a big sticker on top the box sayin do not use impact as a torque wrench...lol

If you have the axle lug torque I'd take it I just put them as tight as I could with a wrench
