there is no actual torque setting for wheel bearings.
when tightening axle nut, turn the wheel as you do it.
this seats the bearing evenly.
tighten the nut till the bearing is just starting to drag a little then back off so it is not dragging. then with one hand at top of wheel and one at bottom, rock the wheel so feel for any movement in the bearing. if no movement you have the proper torque needed. you then need to adjust axle nut (which should be a castle nut) until you can insert codder pin. adjust so the codder pin will go thru the hole in axle closest to where you stopped your adjustment
it may need a littltle tightening or little backing off to acheive this. then spin wheel again to check that it will move freely
