Axle nut torque

Post by WhiteFinish »

I couldn't find it that quickly, perhaps somebody can help me out.

The nut in the hub that bolts the axle. How much NM or torque should it be fastend?

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I use a 1/2" Craftsman breaker bar, with a thick a-- cheater pipe and someone holding the brakes. Couldn't hurt to give it a few taps with an impact gun first, no? Penetrant is a good idea too.
