Default Book has 140 pounds with new bearings

smallblockhead Gary The Jaguar service manual has 140 lbs with new bearings final torque with a spot of loctite. The setup load is 55 pounds for checking end play for the hub on the shaft. This is very important to check. If you are not 100% sure about this, go to ERA and let Doug setup the ends. He has all the special spacers for the correct end play. I did mine twice and it still had too much play. This will cause the car to wonder, have a poor alignment for the rearend, and just cause wearout before its time. Been there, done that. Rick L.
