Wheel bearing replacement questions
What is the correct torque spec for the three torqs bolts that hold the wheel bearing to the spindle? Do you guys apply loc-tite, and if so, which loc-tite? Thanks.

96 ft/lbs. I used red loctite, if they come loose, it's messy, and they are difficult to check.

I marked mine with red touch-up paint. Quick look when doing pads and rotors and I can tell if all is OK.

I mark every fastener on the car with paint. Makes doing fastener checks much easier, and you know if it has paint, it was tightened.
If the paint marks don't line up, put a wrench on it

Best advice ever given. Did this a couple months ago and takes 5 minutes to check the suspension.
