Not real sure on your year... Mine did not reqiure the removal of the axle nut to get the rotors off...

I think the axle nut is 132 Ft-Lbs but you might want to verify.

Mixed answers...

I need to be sure that people understand what my truck is.....

I have a 99 4x4 CTD....I replaced the front rotors now I need to know what torque spec to use to tighten the large (1 11/16") nut that screws on the end of the axle.

Hope some either has book to say for sure or has done it and knows....thanks a ton!!
