Torque specs for D44 8 lug axle nuts.
I just replaced the front brakes on my 92 W250 with a Dana 44 cad with eight lugs. What is the sequence for setting the hub bearings and the torques for this axle? I have been having problems finding information. Thanks.

I defer to Chevy how-to tech because its that much more plentiful. Dodge W150/ramcharger specs would be the same as W250 (so long as its a Dana 44)

The inner nuts sets the bearing pre-load. The outer is simply a jam-nut to secure the setting, Some say this needs to be as high as 125#ft.
I torque 1/2" lug nuts to 100#, and 9/16" to 130#.
