Alldata states 185 ft/lbs., might want to double check.

Cool deal, I'll double check.  Also, there appears to be a cover on the axle nut, any clue on how to remove it?

May I resurrect an old thread?

Searching online, this is what I see-  2015-2017 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade, and 2014-2018 Silverado, Sierra (likely includes 2020 and maybe beyond?)

HUB TO KNUCKLE MOUNTING BOLTS - 133 Foot Pounds
AXLE NUT TO HUB - 188 Foot Pounds

Is this correct?

Thank you for these handy torque specs.  I've seen various numbers floating around - 177 foot pounds for pre-2015 SUVs/pre-2014 trucks as well.  This is the first time I am seeing nearly 200 foot pounds.  I used the 188 foot pound torque spec as provided from Moog's website (or actually they use a 3rd party for torque specs - see here:)  https://drivcat.com/specification-lookup.aspx

These specs came out of ALDATA online repair manual for the listed truck
