Muzzzzz Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hi everyone, My apologies for my first post being a begging post! I am trying to confirm the torque spec on the 4 bolts that hold the rear hub/bearing assembly to the trailing arm on an '09 Focus. I am pretty sure it is 110Nm but this seems a lot for an M10 bolt. If anyone can definitely confirm this I will make a step by step picture guide of the job as a thankyou! Thanks in advance folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Do you mean the 4 bolts that fix the hub assembly to the knuckle?If so I would imagine it’s similar to my MK1 and a torque of 66 Nm 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The wheel hubs need to be tightened using the following procedure: Step 1: Torque: 65 Nm Step 2: Stage 1: Loosen: 90° Stage 2: 65 Nm Step 3: Stage 1: Loosen: 90° Stage 2: 65 Nm Step 4: Stage 1: Loosen: 90° Stage 2: 65 Nm Step 5: Stage 1: Loosen: 90° Stage 2: 65 Nm This procedure is needed to avoid introducing stress/deformation of the wheel hub housing during assembly. This will reduce the risk of premature failure of the wheel hub drastically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaniaPBman Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Well, that all looks a bit fancy. Last time (and only time) I did that rear wheel bearing job, I just tightened them up as tight as I could and that was it. Perhaps I am in for early failure, but I doubt it.

You could've let your son do it himself...just take a supervisory role instead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
