Dana 60 Bearing Tq?

[special-K]

It's been a while since I've been in this area of a Dana 60. My problem is I have conflicting torque figures on the adjuster nut. I don't do well with conflicting info. Makes me want to toss it all and go by my own instincts.

Both sources say seat the bearing with the first nut to 50 ft lbs. One says back off then go finger tight or 1# and the other says back off, 35#, then 1/4 turn back. Ok, close enough on both of those. Different way for same result.

Now on the adjuster nut the one says 160 ft lbs and the other says 65 ft lbs. That's a 95# difference! I wonder if that 165# was a misprint. That's cranking mighty hard on a bearing, enough to move the inner one a bit, I'd think. So my instincts say go 65 ft lbs, and that is from the GM service manual.

Any thoughts before I get into this later this evening or soon after?
