Here are the front axle nut torque specs for the 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD:
ā¢ Axle Shaft nut - 177 ft-lb
ā¢ hub and bearing assembly to steering knuckle bolts - 133 ft-lb
Those vehicles should have a hub assembly which incorporates a bearing and hub in one unit. To my knowledge the bearing is not serviceable. The hub assembly is bolted to the steering knuckle, so there actually is no wheel bearing torque. The tire/wheel assembly bolts directly to the wheel flange on the new hub assembly.
There isn't a torque spec since those bearing are pre-loaded. You place the unit on a good known vic and get a breaker bar and you might even have to put an extention on that and you begin to tighten unitil you fell the bearing start to load...a little extra short turn wouldn't hurt at that point.
