Re: [a/s] Help! Torque nut rating?



 

 
Does anyone know the torque rating on the axle nut?  Just replaced the wheel
bearing etc. on all four wheels. Took it 15 miles down the road and 3 of the
4 wheels are hot to touch.  Told my husband I'd just ask here, I'm sure one
of you guys would know.

No perload or torque needed on wheel bearings. A little or no play is better, but do not torque. As bearing heats up it gets tighter. Better to start with a little play. Hope this helps.
