rear wheel bearing nut

Post by DMS »

Can someone tell me how many Nm's this nut wants to be torqued to?

Thanks,
Jan

look at a Craftsman bar wrench, it has FP and NM.
I could likely look at mine and give you my best guess as to NM=FP if you like

I reread your post, you asked for Nm.

289 to 325 lb ft. is the conversion.

:) It's more like I was wondering how to measure that precisely as my wrench only goes to 120 Nm. I'll try to borrow one at the local garage which has the right range.

Cheers,
