Rear Wheel Bearing Torque Spec Question

EDIT: Verified the bolts are 47 Ft/lbs

Page from physical FSM attached.

Original post:

The rear wheels were making an awful howling sound. The tires are loud RE11's but they just seemed too loud. After replacing the bearings, the sound went away, so I'm glad I held off on new tires. The hardest part was getting my long shaft torque wrench on the bearing bolts....that didn't sound right...anyway...

The FSM available online shows the torque spec for the four bearing bolts at a ridiculously low 16 ft. lbs. A couple friends that have Integras said that was probably wrong.

I read another post that said the FSM was wrong and they are 47 ft lbs.

Would someone please confirm the correct spec?

Thank you!

They look like the 4 nuts that hold the hub/bearing assembly (since it's one sealed part on the rear) in place. That 50-55 ft lb spec seems correct. There were a ton of warnings on the box that said 'do not over torque' so I wanted to be sure. Thank you for posting!

FYI - Here's the index that has the incorrect information on the rear hub/bearing:
