Book says 63 ft/lbs, but I have never seen shops or anyone torque them. They just make sure they are good and tight. Once you do a bunch you will get a feel for how tight to make them

Glad it went easy. Working here in the rusr belt, sometimes they take more time than that. Luckily my car has never seen salt or snow ever, so it goes smooth.

I forgot to mention something. Something I always do is get sandpaper and sand the mounting surface, the hole, the the OD of the bearing case and put neversieze on there. Then it will even go faster later. I did that when I changed to longer wheel studs

That's an excellent recipe for having things fall off your car. The average backyard mechanic can't come within 20% of proper torque from fastener to fastener, with a great tendency to over torque which can be worse than under torque. And that's not me talking, it's SAE. Guys that do it day in and day out professionally are lucky to make 15%.

Torque wrenches exist for a reason.

I've done too many to count and never had anything fall off. I can see if you are a retard. I've been in the business to. Went to school for it and worked in shops for years, plus customers on off hours. Only quit to start my own business. I've been to many dealers and shops that are friends also picking parts, etc. Trust me, they aren't torqueing every damn bolt either. If you believe they do, you must still believe in Santa or the Easter Bunny

I know better. Most shops can't and still beat the flat rate manual...the really good ones can and do, but nobody here has to worry about that while they're under their own hood.
