I have a 58 chevy apache 3600 with a napco 4x4 and I am replacing the front bearings and putting in new felt liners in the knuckles. Does anyone know the torque value for the large retaining nut that holds the hub on, any info would be helpful?
Thanks.

I would suggest a manual: for example: https://www.classicparts.com/1956-6...oga_6QRcPLCYio9T_QFzlwsTq98aAj_REALw_wcB
Actually there are about 3-4 manuals ( 2 service, one parts; and a "PowerPak install manual). Just do a search on "chevy napco manuals"

If it is the thread bearing adjusting nut you are questioning, it is " As tight as possible and back off 1/6 turn" as per the manual. They specify a special tool, but you can figure something out.
