fwiw The hub nut should first be tightened to 35Nm (26Lb-Ft) , Rotate the brake drum 10 times in the opposite direction when tightening the hub nut to prevent damage to the bearing, with a final torque spec of 235Nm (173Lb-Ft).

The dealership had to replace one of our rear bearings under warranty after not properly performing an easy job.
