I am replacing the front wheel bearings on my '88 Ford Escort, it uses tapered roller bearings, now i've always thought tapered bearings should basically only ever be tightened until snug.
But my Haynes manual says 150-174 lb/ft torque for the axle nuts, is this not a little crazy for tapered bearings?
