Question:
Where do I find the torque specs for the hubs I purchased?

Expert Reply:
There are actually no specific torque specs for a hub and drum such as the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. You really need to do it by feel, tightening it down so the hub spins but there isn't any looseness or movement from the hub on the spindle.
If you go to about the 2:40 mark of the linked video you can see our installer putting on a castle nut.
