Axle Nut

There are two types of the wheel drive shaft nuts, which have different tightening torque specifications. Check the style nut that is on the vehicle when staking the nut.

Style 1 nut has the thin collar (1.5 mm) thickness.
Style 2 nut has the thick collar (2.7 mm) thickness.

Tighten the NEW wheel drive shaft nut to:

For Style 1, 330 Nm (244 lb ft)
For Style 2, First Pass: 50 Nm (37 lb ft)
For Style 2, Final Pass: plus 60 degrees.

Using appropriate tools, stake the wheel drive shaft nut collar into the slot on the wheel drive shaft.

Style 1: Stake the center of the wheel drive shaft nut (1) and ensure it is fully staked. DO NOT fractured the wheel drive shaft nut. Each side of the stake should be in contact with the slot in the wheel drive shaft. The gap between the bottom of the stake in the wheel drive shaft nut and the bottom of the slot in the wheel drive shaft should be less than 1 mm (0.039 in).

Style 2: Evenly split the center of the wheel drive shaft nut (2) and ensure that it is fully staked. Each side of the stake should be in contact and approximately 45° to each side of the slot in the wheel drive shaft.
