Anyone know what the torue spec is for the 32mm nut which holds front wheel bearing on? This is for a 2001 Grand Caravan.

Thanks,
John

From the Service Manual.



(5) Install the hub nut on the end of the stub axle.

With aid of a helper applying the brakes to

keep the front hub from turning, tighten the hub nut

to Install the mounting bolts and tighten to 244 N·m

(180 ft. lbs.) torque.

Define easy.

I followed the directions that I got from the internet and it was going well up to the point that the bearing hub assembly was stuck in the steering knuckle. I had to .... uh... coax the old one out.

Putting it back together was frighteningly easy.
