Default Need help with a wheel bearings

I need some help, I already replaced this wheel bearing about a year and 20,000 miles ago and it making noise again! How much does the bolt get torqued to after the bearing is pressed in? Any body had this problem before? The noise is driving me nuts and they cost $105 each and this the second for my driver side rear. I did the passenger siderear too but that one is still quiet. thanks

the wheel bearing cost 104? you're definitely not looking on ecstuning.com then lol. for a m14 axle bolt, it's 85 ft-lb or 115Nm and a .5 turn. for a m16 axle bolt, it's 140 ft-lb or 190Nm and a .5 turn.
