The 65  shop manual says that the torque for the rear bearing hub nuts is 
100-150  ft-lbs.  That can't be right.  They're smaller than the wheel lugs  so 
maybe 3/8 or 7/16ths.  I've got the Service News updates but I  couldn't find 
any updated/corrected torque value for these guys.  I  torqued them to 50 
ft-lbs because that "felt" right.   So far so  good but I'd like to know what 
they're supposed to be.   



Mike, 
You are confusing HUB nuts with LUG nuts.   Look for the torque  spec on LUG 
nuts.
