    Bearing Nut Torque Spec?

    It was once posted on here an actual final bearing retaining nut torque spec in inch lbs. Maybe somebody could post that along to me.

    Jack up one side of the trailer. Grip the edge of the tire and see if you can
    rock or move it. If you can move the outer edge of the wheel more than 1/8” remove the
    bearing protector, the cotter pin and spindle nut retainer. While rotating hub tighten the
    spindle nut to 18-20 inch pounds, which is slightly more than “finger tight”. Don’t
    overtighten. When the nut is positioned properly the wheel should turn easily and there
    should be no end play (lateral movement) of the hub with respect to the spindle.
