I replaced the bearings and seals on the front spindles of my scout,. How do I determine the correct load to put on the bearing with the nut?

Oh this is a togh one. You will need a special spring tool that Advance auto or Auto Zone might have. You will tighten the nut until the springs shows the specified amount of tension.
