I had to replace the rear hub seal on my 01 F250. My repair manual (a P.O.S) only talks about tightning the ratcheting nut for an axle with wheel bearings that use grease. My axle lubes the bearings with the differential oil. I torqued it down to 60 ft/lbs and backed it off 7 clicks. Is this correct?

Does anyone have a line on where a CD or downloadable FSM can be had for both my trucks for a reasonable price? Thanks for your time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

7.Adjust hub nuts as follows: tighten 60ft/lbs

For new bearings, ratchet back five teeth or notches (1/8 turn) on the hub nut. Five notches must be felt during this operation in order to have performed it correctly.

For used bearings, ratchet back seven teeth or notches (1/6 turn) on the hub nut. Seven notches must be felt during this operation to have performed it correctly.
