I just changed the inner and outer rotor bearings and cant find the torque setting for the nut to hold the rotor on the shaft. Can you tell me this and what is the procedure?

Raise vehicle and install safety stands. Remove hub lock assembly. Tighten inner bearing adjusting nut to 50 in. Lbs. (68 N.M) while rotating wheel back and forth to seat bearing. Apply inward pressure on spanner locknut wrench to disengage adjusting lock nut screw. Back off adjusting nut approximately 90 degrees. 2. Retighten adjusting lock nut to 15 in. Lbs. (20 N.M). Final end play of hub on spindle should be.000-.006" (.00-.15 mm). Install hub lock assembly. Remove safety stands and lower vehicle.

This nut needs to be gently tightened as not to bind up the bearings.
