Spindle nut torque.

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I installed my disc brake kit, the instructions said to tighten the 
nut to factory specs. The shop manual for 64 Dodge says 65 ft. lbs. That 
seems awfully tight to me. the rotor still turns by hand , but seems to much 
resistance.  I thought spindle nuts should be tightened  just till you can 
feel a little bearing drag and then back off the nut to the first notch in 
the casteel nut.  Is my shop manual wrong or  my reading ability messed 
up?..............MO
