Re: 1947 chevy 1.5 ton rear hub nut torque

I really is a "feel by hand" deal because every bearing and race are different. Once you get into it you will be able to feel if the bearing is getting to tight and binding up or too loose and getting wobble or free play in the hub or axle. Make sure you get good rotation and do not over lubricate. I go back and check after a few miles to make sure they have not loosened up. Reminded me I need to check the front wheel bearing on my Chevelle...
