4-3/8" and 4-7/8" 8 sided sockets. They are made by OTC. You can buy them from toolsource.com, part numbers 1917 and 1919.

Torque is too vague for proper bearing clearance. Tighten the inner until you cannot feel bearing play, then back off 1/16th of a turn. Install lock nut with tab plate, then check for play. You do not want play.

If bearing gets too hot to hold your hand on the hub, the bearing is too tight.

Double check the inner wiper, the thing the seal runs on. They can become scored. They can be replaced.

Ok thank you , i guess is difrent from my brokway truck with rockwell axles, where it calls to torque inner nut to 150 ftlbs then turn wheel one full turn back up nut and torque to 50ftlbs, then install lock plate and outter nut and torque outside nut to 200ftlbs.
