HUB TOOL

<< < (3/4) > >>

muddymart:
only reason i was asking, is that to tighten the bearing up, as im a bit heavy handed didnt want to go too much,

as the book states torque up to 61nm back off 90 degrees,re-torque to 4nm to give the correct end float.

Only with new bearings

Eeyore:
Have a hunt about on the site, and you'll find soem really cool descriptions of getting the hubnut tightness right.

As RRB says, the stated figues only work with new bearings.
