1993 1 ton 4x4 Front Bearings

I have my 1993 1 ton 4-wd all up on blocks. It started out as ONLY replace the emergency brake cables. NOW it is new brakes all around, and turn the rotors and drums. I have replaced all the seals, and repacked the bearings.



Now, my question: I have everything cleaned up, and I'm installing the FRONT ROTORS, and ALL I have is a Hayes book.



I THINK my front end is a Model 44 or 60. It has lockouts, and 6 hex heads come off first.



According to this book you tighten the spindle nuts to 50 LBS. Then back off, and retighten to 30 LBS. THEN you back them off 135°-150°. IS this right?



I've NEVER seen one that gets backed off like this!



Please help, as I have to get it back on the road YESTERDAY!

The only thing different I can tell you is, retighten to 31-39 lbs, otherwise you have it right. I have a 92, so I doubt there is any difference. The outer nut tightens to 160-205 ft. lbs.
