Re: Wheel bearing preload / spindle nut torque?
This is from the 69 Chassis Manual;
1. Jack up front...
2. Tighten adjusting nut to 15 lb.ft while rotating hub in both directions.
3. Back off nut one flat (1/6 turn) and insert new cotter pin. If nut and spindle hole do not line up, back off slightly (1/6 turn) to align cotter pin. This adjustment provides for .001" to .008" bearing end clearance.
4. Spin hub to make sure it turns freely.
