[QUOTE="Bigwrench, post: 416416, member: 13822"] Good question , most people don't realize exactly how little torque is supposed to be applied to their tapered roller bearings. The correct answer for any small trailer (1500#-5200#) is "Slightly More Than Finger Tight" Finger tight is around 6-9lb in Slightly more for yours would be exactly 18-20lb in. Hope this helps. I have written several articles on trailer repair over the years and it's always best to refer to UFP's free online factory information when working on trailers. [/QUOTE]
