Newbe question on front axle nut torque
This is my first time on the site and would greatly appreciate some help for my 1997 LX450. My front axle oil seals were leaking so I took them apart, including the knuckles, and now am putting it back together. I don't have a factory manual and the cheap Haynes type manuals don't have any of the torque specs for the bearing caps, hub nuts, wheel bearings or anything 
. I found a couple of web pages for changing the birfields, but they didn't have torques either. Thanks again for any help

Hold on Jimbo...
First let me say that if you still need the torque settings, let me know and I'll look them up for you in the Factory Service Manual. Also, if you're going to be doing this type of work...and I think you should...you really need to get the FSM -- it's the end all of manuals.
Now...you're tearing down your front axle on your own...but you take your 450 in to the shop for a tranny fluid change?
