    Front Spindle Nut Torque?

    The manual doesn't say how much to tighten. I've been through just about all the axle threads and can't find anything there either. I'm replacing both axles.

    Yep. I just use a breaker bar to tighten it as i do not have a torque wrench that goes that high.

    I found the spindle torque in the PDF manual in the "suspension" section. Again, kudos to the dude who scanned the manual and posted the PDF.
