best bet is snug it up to set it, loosen it up, than re torque to 50 FT LBS. The norm is to snug than loosen 1/4 turn, but every one has a diffrent feel for snug. Play it safe 50 FT LBS

Was reading the sevice manual last night and the 3 bolts that hold on the wheel bearing are recommended to be torqued at 120 foot pounds, why do you guys suggest snug and 90 degree turn, or 50 foot pounds?
