Drahcir495 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I am preparing to put the new hub assembly on. The Hayes manual (I do not have it here, but I had my friend read it off to me) says to torque the shaft nut to 170#'s. Does this sound correct? Can anyone who has done this please tell me the torque specs, or how they handled it? I may be responsible for my bearing failure :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Depending on the type of unit bearing, that much torque (175 foot pounds) is either required for correct bearing preload, or torque is unimportant due to the preload being internal to the unit bearing.
