From the factory service manual, page Suspension 2-11:

Tighten the nut to 41-54 N·m (30-40 ft. lbs.) to
preload bearing while rotating the hub/rotor. Stop
hub/rotor and loosen nut to completely release bearing
preload torque. Tighten the nut finger-tight and
install the nut lock. Install a new cotter pin
Said manual is available for download from the FAQ pages in this forum.

thank you, tried to download said manual but did not happen on this chrome book. All the other spec sites were quoting 4 wheel drive only. I re-adjust my wheel bearings tomorrow. Thanks again : )
