Question
Thank you for the answer to someone's response. I was able to change my rear whl bearing and save 200. Took all of about 45 minutes. ? is is there a specific torque for the nut on the wheel bearings for the front/ back.. Thanks again

Answer
    I'm sure there is, but it's not critical like it would be with tapered roller bearings.  Just make sure to use a new self-locking nut and that there's no slop in the thing after it is tightened.  And check it a few weeks later to make sure nothing is coming apart.
