Significant Technical Input
Post Close, but not quite...

Used fasteners tighten at the lower setting as they have already been 'stretched'. The higher value will compensate for a new fastener not yet being 'stretched'. (Technically referred to as "torque-to-yield")

As far as bearing grease is concerned, any high quality hi-temp wheel bearing grease will work.

If you don't have access to the proper tools, save yourself some grief and just remove the knuckle with the hub and bearing intact. Trot it down to your local automotive machine shop and toss a few bucks their way to have it done properly. They'll probably do the press work for $20 or so. Money well spent...
