Re: Wheel Bearings
What torque values to use has been confusing through the years. The procedure at the link was written up with a 1997 factory service manual which specified 151 lb-ft. I think you'll be OK. I used the same procedure when I did the front hubs in my Grand Prix GTP and went with the 151 lb-ft. It hasn't self destructed yet. I used aftermarket BCA-National hubs on that one.
However, for some reason later on GM changed the torque value to 119 lb-ft which is what the 1999 factory service manual states. ![]() So I went with 119 lb-ft on our '99 LS but with AC Delco replacement hubs in early 2009. The Delco hubs came with 3 new hub to spindle bolts with threadlocker applied. I still had to purchase new axle nuts separately.

Re: Wheel Bearings
Very interesting that it's changed that much over the matter of a couple of years. Maybe to be safe, I'll loosen them up, and change it to 119 or so. Thanks for clarifying. May not be a bad idea to update that other thread to make sure there is no confusion.
