[DeTomaso] Torque / Tightening front wheel bearings

[Mike Drew]

Mike,

There is a procedure and torque spec in the shop manual. It’s very low. After tightening and loosening, I believe (from memory) it’s 10-25 INCH-pounds?

Most people just do it by feel. 

The book will tell you (I don’t have one with me at the moment….)
