[duke316]

Hi folks I have quick question, I'm replacing the wheel bearings on my 2005 trailblazer and a was wondering what is the torque specs for the center nut ?

bearing to knuckle 77 lb-ft
axle nut 103 lb-ft.

Thanks for the info I appreciate it. Forgot to ask............what size is that nut? I dont have a socket that big and the parts store did not know.

[Airjer_]

Its either a 35 or 36.

36mm, watch for possible different torque readings, some AM hubs have there own specific axle nut torque, info would be in the box.

Good point, Sometimes they do have different specs in the box.

Finally got to work on my suv and everything went off without a hitch. Very easy to do!!!!
