So I'm swapping out my axles tomorrow and I need to know how many ft lbs of torque to tighten the axle nut to.
It's the big one on the end that requires the 30mm socket. If anyone can please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it! This post has been edited by mkernz22: Mar 4, 2011 - 11:02 PM |

Haynes says 140flbs and toyota says 159 flbs, those using a rattle gun, just use a torque wrench, your bearing will last longer!

WOW, why would you use a 3/8 tool set to take off an axle nut? hell we used a 1/2 in breaker bar to get mine off and ended up breaking 2 of them
