In this great internet connected world, have factory manuals become accessible to the common man/woman? Something that doesn’t require a membership to see if it’s even the correct manufacturer? Looking for torque specs for front bearing to knuckle and cv shaft nut.

Just Google it. Torque specs should be available but not complete service manuals.

I use alldatadiy.com which seems to be pretty close to a factory manual. Online subscription is about $30/yr and I'd say that (for me) it has paid for itself.

For a 1998 K1500...
Bolts to steering knuckle are 133 ft-lbs, axle nut is 165 ft-lbs.

Both are a ton of fun to achieve while trying to keep the damn thing from spinning.

On my 02 I used a short length of pipe in between two of the wheel studs, like this:

Looks like you got it, 133ft lbs according to my GM C/K truck manual I attached a pic of the page, hopefully it works.
