The torque specs for the 36mm nut on my hub says 175ft pounds my wrench only goes to 150 will that be enough or should I find one with my needs
Will it be enough

You can rent the needed torque wrench from Autozone for free. If you think you'll need one more often than not, I'd look into investing in one.

Yes it will be plenty. It has a retainer cap or a cotter pin so it wont come off.
-
I just slam them on with the impact and call it good. Aaron is right though, with the cotter pin it won't back off.

I second this! -

Completely false. On anything newer then a cj its a unitbearing. Its preload is built in. The nut just locks it to the stub shaft

If the preload is preset, how is it they fall apart without the shaft and nut in place?

I've been meaning to do this for a few days so excuse my poor sketch but this is basically what a cross section of a unit bearing looks like. You can see that the nut just holds the axle shaft into the hub. The hub is a press fit into the bearings.I have an old unit bearing at home, when I get a min after I finish my truck I will press it apart. As a side note, Toyota Tacoma (05+) have a very similar design but aren't sold as a unit. You have to press it apart and reuse the center section every time.

When u tighten the nut on the stub shaft it sits against a shoulder that sets the preload. U can NOT over tighten the bearings. This is why u shoud not drive with out the stub shaft in the unit bearing.
Its real simple i know u have had the front apart on yours and u r not stupid, so y do u continue to say stupid things?

The above tag should read.... Failure to tighten your shit will cause it to come apart and eff shit up. I wouldn't take the advice of a tag likely printed in China with improper spacing. My favorite one.... "toinsure"

Again instaed of added any useful tech u post dumb fuck stuff that doesnt help anyone. U can not over tightnen a unitbearing. U can under tightnen by not seating the back side of the spindle with the nut. This will allow the weight of the truck to loosen the pressed in bearing.
See keith some tech not a bullshit pic. Contribute and dont be a dick.

Wow Aaron.
I asked a simple technical question, and you chose to come back with insults and name calling.

I would like to place a vote for the right size torque wrench, is there a box to check? Or just pull on the 150 till it clicks and then go 25 more.
-
