Hi Dan,

I don't own a torque wrench that reads inch lbs, but had borrowed one before and recalled that 15 in-lbs was barely more than finger tight. I snugged my wheel bearings down and tightened to the next slot for the cotter pin. One did develop a little bit of play in it and I tightened it to the next slot and it was fine. Maybe someone with a lot more experience will weigh in and point out the actual "right" way to do it...

Kevin
