The front ones just tighten up till theres no bearing play. I tighten mine till the wheel binds then slacken them back off till it frees up. I
don't think there's an actual torque setting for them.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

As Pete says. The fronts do up till the hubs stiff then back off a flat of the nut.

degrees.

i did it hand tight with just a socket over the nut, then backed it off to the last pin notch. Thats probably not too far off 28lbft anyway!

yep, no torque value for these, just give em a good nip if new bearings have been fitted to make sure they are seated well, then back off to a
suitable split pin hole and check there is no play.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

My 1st car was an old escort 1100(mmmmm) The haynes manual had that nonsense about tighten to a totque & back off 90. They were never adjusted
right. Now with the taper rollers I always tighten with a pair of pliers till they feel right.
BTW it IS worth doing the 28ftlbs thing once when you rebuild to ensure the bearings are seated correctly.
cheers
