Searched Pirate, Parts Mike, and here and haven't found any definite answers.

I am putting the spindles out to the locking hubs back together and would appreciate some torque values.

Spindle to hub This is the big mystery. I've read everything from 70 to 20 and these are a little important!

'76 D44 Spindle Lock Nut

Caliper bolts

and the Warn Hub bolts

One thing I can say about searching is that it's WAAY too easy to get side tracked! I can't wait to tell thatK30guy about my new 12 bolt front axle :haha:still lmao
 
Spindle to knuckle i usually torque to 45 lbs. (they're only 3/8" bolts)

Spindle bearing lock nut is 50 lbs. on the inner then back off 1/4 turn then install washer with all the holes then torque outer spindle nut to 50 lbs.

Caliper bolts are tight by hand with a standard size allen wrench or ratchet with allen socket.

Warn hub bolts are a small allen wrench and a small umph after hand tight.
 
Thanks a lot! I think that is the third time I've seen 45 lbs so that is the winner! Really appreciate the input.:waytogo:
