My final point on the 50 ftlbs ... it's just torqued to that value to seat the new bearings ... DO NOT LEAVE THE SPINDLE NUT AT THAT TORQUE VALUE ... back it off and do the wrist flick or finger tight ... whatever floats your boat. If you were to leave the spindle nut at say 50 ftlbs ... I doubt if you'd get 15 - 20 miles down the road before you burnt up a wheel bearing.
