The 3 in the back are about 75 ft-lbs the axle nut is about 170 ft-lbs. Very important!! It holds it all together

There's a list of that stuff I've been accumulating on my site, in the Tech section.

HELPFUL HINT: If your torque wrench doesn't go far enough for the hub nut (185 lb-ft, IIRC - my 1/2" only goes up to 150 lb-ft,) you can still get it there.

Coat the stub shaft threads with never-seez, divide the book "clean, dry" value by two, and set to that. (185/2=92.5lb-ft, I set to 93.)

Yes, this works. I know that the stub nut governs bearing preload, and that preloading a bearing improperly will significantly reduce bearing life, but I've yet to have any trouble with that (did my first XJ hub about 12 years ago, in this manner.)

See my comments elsewhere on why you reduce "clean, dry" torque when using various lubricants, and how much to reduce for what type of lubricant.
