just ahd to dig in the FSM... ok so i got the 22ft.lbs from about halfway through the front bearing procedue lol.

it says torque to 14-22, then back it off and finish with a pull gauge. i dont have a pull gauge, and im lazy, so i just left it at 22. seems to be fine.
the only issue i had was after a couple hundred miles the bearing gets loose (breaking in/seating), so i had to retorque.
