Do a search of 'wheel bearing torque' and you will find everything you need. If you mean the spindle nut I think it is 164 ft lbs. Dial indicator tolerance is .001 to .005.

He says front so it's not going to be the spindle nut torque. I think he's talking about the 4 hub-to-knuckle bolts. I looked in my shop manual, and it does not show a torque spec for that fastner.

Best investment you will make.

FYI: Look for one at a car show, it may prove to be cheaper. I think I paid a little over a hundred from the dealer, but that was with our shop discount. There is two books also, one mechanical and one for the electronics.

How odd, I did a quick search and found it almost immediately, BEFORE I suggested you do a search. Figured if I found it that easy so would you. Oh well, as long as you got what you needed. Good Luck with it now.
