Axle Nut



Rear wheel hub lock nut 100 - 105 Nm (10.2 - 10.7 kg-m, 74 - 77 ft-lb)

Since the drive shaft is assembled by press-fitting, use the tightening torque range for the wheel hub lock nut.

Be sure to use torque wrench to tighten the wheel hub lock nut. Never use a power tool.

Wheel hub lock nut tightening torque does not over torque for avoiding axle noise, and does not less than torque for avoiding looseness.

Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing wheel hub and bearing assembly and axle housing.

Never reuse cotter pin, wheel hub lock nut, spring washer, and bushing.
