Kingpin D60 Spec's

[Tad]

Two items I can't seem to readily locate and need ASAP:

Spindle nut torque =
(besides doing it the old fashioned way)

Kingpin bearing preload =
(I know I have seen this but can't seem to find it now)

TIA

Thank You,
I did find similar numbers after posting this, but also found some not even close to those.
Thanks for helping verify this.

Read that many times, have all the spreadsheets downloaded, sorry to say it did not give the spec's I needed.

25 lbs for the preload.

I looked at the NorthWest Fab website and it mentioned 20 Ft pounds here ~~~> http://www.northwestfab.com/dana60arminstall.html

Thanks Keith,
I'm wondering now if there are different spec's for different arms?
Doesn't seem like there should be, looks like all the springless arms are pretty much the same design (mine are from Ballistic).
