What is the torque for the the spindle nut that holds the 50mm never lube bearing on? The bearing on the axle is my old bearing for a picture as I do not have my new bearing yet.

The Dexter Spindle Nut # 6-183 used with your 50mm Nev-R-Lube bearing # 31-71-3, requires 145 to 155 ft/lbs of torque, according to the manufacturer's specifications.

See attached diagrams for step by step instructions.
