so you might want to check that second spec??????????

I just went and looked up several different makes on front wheel bearings and they varied from 12 ft lbs to 20 and then back off and retighten to 15-17 inch lbs while most stated FINGER tight then back off for the cotter key-------
Jerry - I looked again and you are exactly right - should be 15 in-lbs. Looks like I will be going back over them again. Finally something I can use that 1/4 torque wrench for that I've had for years.

Thanks.
