Help Quick...Warn hub squeaking when engaged.

[bipolarbob]

:roll:

Now that we have a foot of new snow, I am driving with my hubs engaged. When the passanger side is engaged i get a constant Squeek....... squeek....... squeek. It speeds up when I do, stops when stopped, etc. I Just pulled the wheel off, and checked the 2 spindle nuts, they are snug, the washer in between & retaining washer was in place, it was greased and turned freely. I greased it and threw it back together. Brakes are good. Please help?

Edit; I just read maybe my spindle nuts are too tight, I wonder. I just tightened them a little more, it could be a little worse? The inside one 16 in lbs, is that about hand tight? and the outside one pretty tight?

Anyone? I just took it all apart and the innermost bearing was shot. Replaced it and the cover but noticed my inside spindle nut does not have a little pin on it to lock it in place to the washer. Could this be a problem? There is no grease nipples on the U-joints in the front axle, is there a way to lube them?
