I've read from guys on here who didn't torque it enough and had to replace them within a year.

The hub bolts and spindle nuts are supposed to be one time use only too.

One of my Timken hubs failed at 70K miles. I proactively replaced the other at 84K while doing some other work the other day. Now we'll see how long the GM OE hubs last again.
... Which is why the correct torque is important. So if GM says 155, and everyone else says 177, is that a misprint in my FSM? Was it updated? Anyone else with a FSM that can confirm? (2002 Tahoe)
