I found a Dexter Nev-R-Lube install/removal guide on Dexter's site and they recommend 145 to 155 ft lbs of torque for the spindle nut of a hub with Nev-R-Lube bearings.

@@tahi_jon You will need a 1-7/16 inch 6 or 12 point socket for a Nev-R-Lube nut # 6-183. When you are ready to reinstall it you will need a torque wrench capable of 145 to 155 foot pounds such as # ALL944001.
