We just had a clarification thread on this topic last week, that will outline a well accepted and widely used alternative to the FSM approach to setting wheel bearing preload torque, especially if you are running oversize wheels and tires
i'm looking at the aussie 2 gear low video on this that i will link below and i wanted to make sure i had this correct. i wasn't clear on what happens between preload and aligning the matchmarks. it seems to me it is 1 torque to 43 ft lb 2 spin hub 3 torque to 43 ft lb 4 loosen to "hand tight"...

Many of us use the 35 ft/lbs on the inner nut and 45ft/lbs on the outer lock nut front and rear. Then secure and the set screws for the rear lock ring at 45 in/lbs. VS playing around with a fish scale and all that nonsense.
