So about this torque spec on the front hubs... I know a lot of you change them out yourselves. Do you all happen to have torque wrenches capable of that spec? Or just educated-guessing it?
To buy a torque wrench like this for one purpose seems like way too much of an expense. Rentals aren't available that high, and even Harbor Freight's highest-spec offering only goes to 300.

I’ve worked on mine quite a bit. Although I do have the large torque wrench on board I go as tight as my impact Gun goes using my co2 tank at 95 lbs. ido this so I can remove in case of a brake on the Trail. Been wheeling for years and never had any issues. The book also calls for loc tight but I skip that and use never cease instead.

Get genuine nuts, the ones I got were 36mm and could not be tightened with the wheel on, as the socket would not fit.
The best advice I got was to get a 3/4” Breaker Bar. That with a 6’ length of lead pipe do the job for me.
I was able to get the old hub off with a claw clamp and a breaker bar. That was not easy.
Use the sensors that come in the hubs if you can.
