I just got the bearings and seals for the rebuild of the front 4wd of my Universasl 640 tractor. Any thoughts as to the bearing torque?

Get a 3' breaker bar. Tighten the bearing by hanging from the end of the bar. Rotate the bearing to seat the races while returning to the breaker bar and giving it a bounce once in a while. Back off the bearing by reversing the wrench and having your wife hang from the breaker bar as far out as she can go.

Perfecto!
