Can Anyone tell me the proper pre-load on the rear wheel bearings. The old ones seemed to be real tight.I am wondering if this is what caused the bearings to score? Just want to make shure I don't damage the new ones.

I think the M35 TM calls for 150# and then back off. Retorque to 50#. Old school is tighten all the way down, back off, hand tighten then about 1/8 to 1/4 more. I would guess the 5 ton would be the same.
