Default Front bearing assembly torque

I am going to be replacing the front bearing assemblies on my 07 1500. Does anyone happen to know the torque specs on the bolts?

If you're asking about torque for mounting wheel bearing to steering knuckle, tighten the bolts to 120 ft/lbs.

Glad to hear someone was able to Diy that one..I never could get my stub axle to push out of mine...heat, press nor sledge would budge it..just gonna drive around on them till they fail I guess...Gotta be the most ridiculous automotive repair situation I've come across.

Im assuming that by “stub axle” that yours is 4wd, mine is rwd. I’m sure that mine was much easier than yours would be.
you might check with a front end shop about just getting the stubs out and doing the rest yourself...

Sorry..went to the ebay link and thought it was a 4x4 front hub in the pic..yes I've been told I got to remove the whole control arm assembly with spindle and axle attached and get it taken somewhere to have a 50 ton press applied..So ridiculous..Hey Chrysler, how bout a dab of gdamn antiseize on the assembly line once in awhile?
