Replacing the front DRIVER'S SIDE wheel bearing this weekend, any suggestions? What is the torque spec and nut size for the spindle?

Thanks. Brian.

I think it's a 32mm. Maybe someone else can confirm or correct that.

Thanks much, guess I'm back to the store since I came home with a 36 mm. The torque is different than I've seen other places, 155 ft lbs--which I guess is for the 4 WD.
