Hub Bearing Torque Spec

[dsturch1]

I currently have my truck out in the driveway all pulled apart while doing ball joints and i noticed my hub bearing is making a rubbing noise while I spin it with my hand....Does this sound like im on the way to a worn out hub bearing??

Also does anyone know the torque specs on the 3 15mm bolts that hold it on? Thanks

70 to 80 Ft-lbs for the three bolts

the hub nut is 157 to 213 Ft-lbs

and yes, if the 'roaring' sound goes away while turning left/right at speed, the opposite bearing from the direction you turned is going bad. I would verify what I just said though, I think that's the correct diagnosis. Both mine went bad..
