Does anyone know the torque settings for wheel bearings for UTV’s. I have a 14 razor and can’t find the torque settings anywhere. thx.
Not sure but this might help you out, found in another forum.

One of my riding buddies called a company that makes race hubs for UTV's (can't remember the name.) They told him Polaris has been shy on the torque numbers for some reason the last several years. Can-am says 220 lbs on theirs, and Polaris bumped it to 180 for 2018 even though the parts are mostly the same. He recommended going 200 ft/lbs. Apparently, not torquing them enough causes some play inside the hub and makes them wear faster. We all greased ours and put them at 200 before our last couple of rides. No problems yet but no long term review either. The only thing is, you can't do it by yourself...you have to have someone inside the machine holding the brake because the wrench turns the wheel and doesn't tighten the nut

Was going to say with all ball bearings I wouldn’t tighten to much. That way when you’re redoing them in a very short time it’s easier to take apart lol

You grease them? Last way better if you grease them but man if you don’t they don’t last. My 500 ranger I changed them more than oil.
