Dodge: torque values, dodge ram 1500, cotter pin


Question
I am looking for the torque specs for the front spindle wheel bearing nut.  The nut has no cotter pin but is a one use only ny-lock type nut.  The truck is a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 2-wheel drive.  Thanking you in advance for any info you may be willing to share.

Barry,
Screw the nut onto the shaft and tighten it snug so there is no play in the hub and wheel bearing.Make sure it is greased well before going through the trouble.When you tighten the nut pull out on the hub if there is play in it go another slight turn,but make sure the hub is not binding up.RamMan
