borrowed from silverado ss . com, mr.p's write up on lowering an ss with spindles, which is the same for 4x4.

Judging by how much force he was applying in that pic, looks like at lease 150ft/lb.

I gave you a link to a thread for the torque specs, it was the last link in my post... hell, you even quoted it in your last post...lol
. Anyway yeah its a 36mm socket, I used a 36 on mine when I put on my mcgaughy's spindles on my 06 and I don't think they changed the nut size between years. I got the socket from the autozone by my house. As far as it goes for having to use a breaker bar, mine weren't on all that tight.
And I guess I'll post the torque specs from zippy's posted specs on silveradoss on here for easier finding...
1. Steering knuckle to spindle bolt-------------------133 lb ft
2.CV joint to front axle bolts-------------------------58 lb ft
3. Ball Joints----------------------------------------74 lb ft (lower) 37 lb ft (upper)
4. Front spindle nut(the big 36MM one).--------------177 lb ft
