you torque them nuts to 118 fp, and never look back. air gun just zaps them on, no real harm as a lot of guys here use air guns.

cheap bearings was your issue. hell even the good name brand ones fail. why im on the second set of hubs my self.

oh, its a gp, get used to changing hubs, its part of ownership.

Cuz ur running moogs thats why lol.

When you purchase SKF hubs, there will be a notice in the box that says to torque the axle nut to 151 ft lbs which is OE spec

OE spec is 118 ft lbs. GM and mitchel and all data all say 118 ft lbs.

Only 1 year had something different even though the axle, hub, nut, knuckle never changed and that was 2001 where it says 159 ft lbs. But it's wrong, I even asked GM about it and they didnt know why it was changed because the very next year it was 118 ft lbs again.

its a typo lol had that once on a truck it said it chould tow 13,500 lbs but it would have tore the truck in 2 so they were forced to do a recall on it.

Alldata says 151 ft lbs and SKF asks for that amount for THEIR bearings. Also if you purchase a SKF hub at NAPA, the receipt tells you to torque 151 ft lbs. I would just go with what the manufacturer of the hub says. I believe Moog asks for 118 ft lbs but that what Moog suggests for THEIR part. I'll get my scanner hooked up 2morrow and scan my receipt and upload it.


I'm surprised you use mitchell on demand FFDP. I ****ing hate that software
