Yes, it is the one big spindle nut, I read twenty ft lbs, then back off 90 degrees and hand tighten after that until the cotter pin goes in. Thoughts?



You read it wrong.

I have to look in my service manual for the pre load, but you want need some pre load which is more than hand tight.

Put it together and spin the rotor by hand while you snug the spindle nut with socket and rachet, one knoch past tight is when the cotter pin goes in.
