For models using repackable, tapered-type bearings and cotter pin/nut lock type retainers, the hub nut is to be tightened in the following steps according to the Haynes Repair Manual for 1987 - 1996 Dakotas.
- Tighten to less than 12 ft.lbs.
- Then, while spinning the hub in a forward direction (have a friend help, if necessary), tighten to 20 ft.lbs. to seat the bearings.
- Loosen the hub nut 1/4 turn, then use your hand (no wrench) to tighten the nut until it's snug.
- Install the nut lock and cotter pin. If the nut lock slots won't line up with the cotter pin hole, remove the lock and turn it until the hole lines up with a slot.
For Dakotas using the other, sealed-type wheel bearings assemblies (should only be on 4wds, but some 2wds might use them), Haynes lists no torque value for the hub nut and 110 ft.lbs. for the hub assembly-to-spindle bolts.
