I take it the wheelbearing torque doesn't need to be that specific then, as long as it's effing tight? ::)

In seriousness, I would always use a new nut and, if you can't measure the torque accurately, torque it up to the maximum you can measure and add an extra "grunt" by feel.

The nut needs to be locked somehow, hence always needing a new one. Sometimes they are just locknuts, sometimes they need to be staked into a groove in the thread.

It's not specific in that it doesn't affect the bearing with a modern setup, but only in that a wheel falling off can ruin your day somewhat.

A bit of a rumble on tractor, audible above the engine ;D

What I lack is a big enough bar on the end of a 1/2" drive strong enough...
