Hi
The haynes manual shows two very different settings (60 and 150 lb/ft). It seeems our open classic comes under the 60 setting (although it is a 1275 engine).
Are different bearings fitted to some models?, also should the torques be checked periodically?.
thanks
Gary
Is this front or rear wheel bearings?
Because I dont think Ive ever torqued up wheel bearings.
cheers

check cv joint 1 hole for split pin 150, 2 holes for split pin 60 cheers
The rear are tapered and should not be torqued up, just finger and thumb pressure is enough usually, Fitzy
Hi

early manual says:
Drive shaft nut (fr* Front hub to drive shaft - nut 260 Nm

I've done mine recently, T wrench only went to 90 so did them to that then tightened to the next line up of the castle nit and split pin hole. As Haynes manual said do up to the torque then on some more to line up for the split pin. They should have just said, "tighter than a very tight thing"!
