jakebullet64 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 hi there, just done a drumming rear wheel bearing, i looked on the net and found a site saying the torque setting was 290nm = 213.89 ft lbs!!! anyway, my torque wrench only goes to 230nm. but by the feel of the hub nut, i think even that would be too much. i've done it up to 130nm, the same amount-ish as the wheel nuts. what do you guys think?? to make things worse, i can't find my haynes..lol cheers jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
