Front driveshaft bolt torque & sequence

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I'll be changing a front wheel bearing on my 2015 Scout this weekend.

 

Just wondering if anyone has the above?

If anyone knows the bearing bolt torques too then even better.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Andy

That's brilliant, thanks so much

For the front hub bolt it is as follows:

 

Torque
   
Screw Torque
Screw -WHT.005.437-/black 200 Nm and turn 180°
Screw -WHT.005.437.A-/silver 200 Nm and tighten by 90°

 

 

 

For the wheel bearing:

Any thoughts on doing the 180 degrees with an impact gun? I know people go through the wheel centre with the wheel on the ground but surely weighting the bearing before the bolt is tight can damage the new bearing?

Both can work, Depending on access. For the 180 degrees I would personally do this:

 

Tighten first to 200Nm, mark bolt and a reference point with paint pen, tighten the angle as much as i can in the air, fit wheel without centre cap and lower to floor, finish the remainder till both paint marks are furthest from eachother, ie. 180 degrees apart.

When i dont have great access for a bar then ill use an impact gun to do the angle yes :)
