Hub torque

Featured Replies

Hi,

Anyone know the torque setting for the hub not on a vrs? Can't seem to get it anywhere!

Just went through a new SKF bearing in under 4000 km's so wondering if I had it too tight or loose.

Thanks James

This is the instruction as printed in elsawin:-

If the wheel bearings are loaded through the vehicle's own weight, the wheel bearing will be initially damaged. This shortens the life of the wheel bearing.

– Depress brake pedal (assistance of second mechanic required).

– Tighten new twelve-point nut to 225 Nm and release by 1/2 a turn.

– Torque wheel hub a further min. 90°.

– Tighten twelve-point nut:

Tightening torque:

50 Nm + 60°

Hope it helps - I take it you mean front bearing?

That helps a lot, yes it's the front bearing!

Although I'm probably not far away I didn't use the tighten and release sequence!

Cheers
