Default Spindle Specs.

Anyone know what the torq is on the front spindles? I can't find my manual and I don't know if it was 30in lbs then back off then 25in lbs. Can someone clear my brain up and give me the right torq specs on this?

Don't forget you can download the service manual from the FAQ in this section. So it will always be on your computer.

Here is a copy and paste from the manual.


(6) Tighten the nut to 41-54 N
zm (30-40 ft. lbs.)
torque to preload bearing while rotating the hub/rotor.
Stop hub/rotor and loosen nut to completely release
bearing preload torque. Tighten the nut fingertight
and install the nut lock. Install a new cotter
pin.
