    I was just wondering if anyone knew the Torque spec for the Wheel bearings 3 bolts and also if anyone knew the Axle nut Torque specs. I believe the Axle nut is supposed to be torqued to 118. Let me know.

    None of them are important. German good'n'tight works well. for example when I put on an axle nut..it's til the air gun stops.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    sorry bill thats horrible advice for the axle nut. Torque spec for that on my 01 is 159ftlb. The back they just get them good and tight. The axle nut needs to be torqued or you will ruin the wheel bearing a lot faster.

    @TheOtherNick: True, true! See http://cds.activant.com/C2C/C01/35/192/157591741.pdf . Found this elsewhere on the forum. I am still looking for torque specs for the wheel bearing and caliper assembly bolts, besides "as tight as you can."

    Nice job bumping a 4 year old thread, also the torque on those bolts is tight as you can just don't be stupid about it and break them.
