I've had two bearings separate and though it seems that a couple hun'd ft/lbs would hold the bearing together, I replaced both. One failure was clearly due to insufficient torque...I was able to remove it with my fingers AFTER paying my indy mech to check out vibration. The other bearing in this car seems ok though it was at about 50-70 ft/lbs. One axle had a nut but not a flange nut nor a fat washer so it's no wonder this one failed. You prob know, never put load (weight) on bearing until it if torqued. I installed used bearings (hubs) which I found in Saabnet classified for 15% of new. Just fine on a 1991 car. I'll be pleased to tell you my quick and easy but non-standard method for replacing the hub if you determine you need to do it. Call me at 707 542 five one four seven.
