I'm just going to put the bearing/hub assembly back on my SN95 front spindles and I'm wondering how tight I should be torquing the nuts?

My FFR manual is out at the shop (ie not in front of me), but I presume it will have the other torque specs I'll need -- for the lower and upper ball joints as well as the steering rack to frame bolts...

It can take about as much as you can give it. I slipped a old roll bar pipe over the end of my 1/2" breaker bar an cranked on it. Worked good.
