depends on style of hub bearing, hub and if it is sleeved or not.

most will have you first torque them to about 250 ft-lbs then back em off again so they seat properly. After that ...

sleeved is typically about 215-ft lbs. non-sleeved is typically 50-75 ft-lbs. it all depends on the brand too. you can usually find a manual for whatever axles you have and look it up.

Never had to adjust trailer myself, only my truck so maybe others who do this can elaborate on what they do too eh?
