I am planning on replacing one of the front hubs on my son's 97 Taurus today and already have the replacement part but have a couple questions:
It is recommended that I replace the spindle nut but I can not find a new spindle nut in any of the parts stores in my area. Would it be OK to re-use the old one as long as it is torqued to spec?
Also, does anyone know what size this nut is?
(I am going to need to by a socket and would prefer to make one trip to the parts store...)
Lastly, does the hub need to be grease loaded like a typical wheel bearing?
thanks
