Thanks, Jerry
Hi,
I forgot to say, the Timken hubs come with standard wheel studs installed.
I've also read posts here that the axle nuts loosen up which ruins the hubs.
The factory torque specifications is 98 ft pounds, plus another 1/8th turn, posts here say 150 ft lbs, plus a 1/8th. And add red loctite...

Hi,
I like to use the loctite product number cause colors aren't always a good way to reference them. Loctite 242 blue, 262 red, there's a 222 red for small hardware. Some a removable, some are permanent.
Loctite over a long time, like a year latter is more difficult to remove than it is a...

Thanks, Jerry
