Still chasing the vibration in the truck, I am going to replace wheel bearings Monday or Tuesday (depends on work schedule). I intend to buy new rotors/hubs, brake pads, and wheel bearings (I have one set already) for both sides since the brake pads are getting low, and the rotors have been turned twice. Figured it was easier to do it all at once rather than a little at a time.
Question is, since my manual is in Virginia and I am in FL, what does the nut that holds the rotor/hub get torqued to? I have done trailer bearings dozens of times, always by "feel" (tighten up while rotating the wheel, then back off slightly to align the cotter pin) and have never had an issue, but would like to do this "by the book".
Any tips would be great.
