Front hub nuts - torque question
I'm replacing the front springs & dampers, plus the top mounts & bearings. I was planning on taking the whole lot off in one go, complete with the hub assemblies - as Jules suggests in post 2 here.
According to Rave though (page 47-2) the torque for this nut is 350Nm or 258ft lbs. Is that right? If so, what does everyone use to undo the old nut? And how do you re-torque the new one later on? My torque wrench won't go anywhere near as high as 350Nm. Pic below borrowed from Jules (link above). |

Undo by knocking the tab out on the nut and either using an impact gun or a 3 foot bar and jumping on it if required.
Fitting being a reverse. A good pull on a decent breaker bar will provide plenty of torque. All that’s required to torque to 350nm is 35kg on the end on a 1m bar, or 70kg on a 0.5m bar. Then re-tab.

Or treat yourself to a torque wrench capable of 350 Nm!

Is there any reason not to switch the offside and nearside hub nuts over?
I think the staking of the nut will be in a different location. I use a torque wrench capable of 350nm to torque them up and an electric impact wrench for undoing them, having unstaked the nut first. Haynes manual also says 350nm macafee2 |

I'm surprised at you Simon Torque wrench HERE Brian P.S. I use one of these to undo stake nuts, better than a breaker bar any day of the week ; LINK Last edited by marinabrian; 4th July 2020 at 14:28.. Reason: adding link |
