2008 FX4 hub assembly

Need to know torque specs for spindle nut and what grease and how much to use for replacing driverside Timkien hub assembly. Complete unit bearings already inside?

The book says 27Nm (20 lb-ft)

I assume your talking about install step #4 from these instructions.

Removing and Installing a Hub Unit Bearing.

"Install the axle nut. Tighten the nut
to the vehicle manufacturer’s torque
specification using a torque wrench. An
impact wrench is not recommended
because it does not reliably impart the
proper torque."
