Welcome to the forum. The wheel hub nut torque for the front wheel bearings on a '96 Explorer is 157 to 213 ft-lbs.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread to the stock 95-01 section.

Thanks !! What about the hub retaining nuts?

Thanks JDraper, would it be a different torque spec for the hub retaining nuts? Help,, I am asking these questions for my hubby, he has to fix my Explorer when he gets home, we usually have a repair manual for each vehicle, but we didn't get it for the Ex yet..Thanks again

wait...

is it 2wd or 4wd?

huge difference

157-213 would be for a 4wd

edit: errr... re-read that... you need the torque spec for the knuckle-to-hub assembly bolts?
