I noticed on my last ride that my driver side front wheel bearings were making noise, and by the end of the ride they were really squealing. So I ordered up all the stuff to pull the 2000 mile factory ones out and replace them with Timken units and good grease. This is slightly aggravating since Mahindra should have done this to begin with, but at least it's not a horribly expensive fix. Before I tear it apart, does anyone know the torque spec for the spindle nuts? I did a quick search and didn't come across it.

Found my answer on the install instructions for OX lockers online, 46-54 Nm, or basically 45 ft-lbs.

I also found major water and rust on the outer bearing, the inner looked pristine. My hub gaskets and the O-ring on the Warn hub body showed no signs of leakage, but I found some actual water in the Warn hub splines. I suspect the stub shaft seal, looks like I'll be going deeper
