RE: Conmet preset hubs
Thought I would just add my question to this thread...

I'm currently replacing the steer axle wheel bearings on my Cascadia and am getting some conflicting info about the bearing torque prior to checking endplay. Maybe someone has come across this before.

I have a Meritor MFS-12143a steer axle according to my info tag on the dash. When I search the letter/number combination on the rear of my hub, I'm coming up with a Conmet hub. There is a sleeve between the inner/outer bearings, but here's the curveball. .. It's using an AxiLock 2 1/8" nut. The other specs I have been given elsewhere do not use the AxiLock nut.

Here's the question...do I go off Conmet, Meritor, or AxiLock's torquing sequence? I would think AxiLock, but the final torque is drastically different with that nut. Initial torque is 200lb/ft with the final at 75lb/ft. Other Conmet sleeved hubs have much greater initial and final torque values.
