HAS ANYONE AN IDEA OF THE TORQUE SETTINGS FOR THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ON MY TRANSIT VAN 100 SWB 1998.

Thank you ,your advise has been very helpfull .

the nut is virtually finger tight-check play by holding top and bottom of wheel and rock it untill slightest play is felt [with wheel jacked-up ]then put split pin in.yes if you are overtightening them they will soon wear out!

Yes that is correct it is not a four wheel drive model. it's a rear wheel drive only, secured with a split pin and castellated nut. I do not understand when you say they are adjusted until slightest end float is felt. I am having the problem of over tightening them and this is causing the problem of the bearings wearing quickly and me having to replace them again.

taper roller bearings-these are not torqued but are adjusted untill slightest end float is felt then secured with a split pin,. [i take it is not a 4wd model] in castellated nut
