Just have a quick question. Does anyone know what the wheel bearing torque is for my Suzuki Sierra 97 Coily?

Cheers

I have never seen or heard if anyone adjusting wheel bearings by a torque setting, put the wheel on and adjust it by feel.

The adjust by feel thing made me scratch my head when doing bearings.
What I do, when doing by feel.
Tighten while rotating wheel until the load starts to increase. Then back off alittle, until wheel rotates reasonably easily - keeps rotating (maybe 1 - 2 revs) after given a push.
Check the wheel is not loose on bearing by holding wheel top & bottom and push top & pull bottom etc. tighten if loose.

the Sierra service manual says
tighten to 80Nm while spinning by hand
next loosen until torque 0Nm
then tighten again to 10 - 15Nm :)

they last a lot longer if you do it properly to factory toque specs.

This is a situation where if you don't know the answer don't post, you've both just destroyed his bearings

Coily uses a cassette type bearing, you don't adjust it for preload, you just do the nut up real tight, I don't know the exact figure but its in the order of 100+nm from memory.
