The center nut is supposed to be torqued to 175 ft-lbs. Then you should stake it too like the factory did.

2wd.. I preload it while spinning the rotor to 300 inch pounds and then loosened it a quarter turn and turn it back finger tight I hope that works

doesn't seem like very many other people have replaced the bearings because no one is talking about it at all I've been looking for a while now

Nevermind. You replied while I was loading the pdf files as attachments to the post.
The correct procedure is in my above post....
I was going to offer to email you the complete pdf file but it appeared you got off line so I broke it up into 3rd's so I could attach to the post.
If you would like the single complete pdf file pm me with your email addr.
175 lb/ft would have trashed your bearings if not broken something, lucky your instinct told you otherwise. 300 inch pounds should be on the safe side but make sure you follow the correct procedure before you drive on it or you may damage the bearings prematurely.
4wd hubs are completely different set up. No bearing pre-load and power is applied through the hub so major difference in procedure and torque.
