[QUOTE="overboard, post: 416415, member: 6547"] YUP! :lol: What if the 55 foot pound torque value places the castle nut at a point where the cotter pin can not be inserted into one of the slots, now what? You either have to loosen or tighten the nut to be able to insert the cotter pin and thus lose the torque value! I would say the torque value is only used as a guide to initially seat the bearing, and the "til it just spins freely" comes into play after that. I firmly snug up the nut, back the nut off a little, snug it up again, and then go from there as to tighten or loosen the nut to line up with the cotter pin hole using the "til it spins freely" method. Also---Welcome aboard, we are here to try to help! [/QUOTE]
