Axle Nut



Rear Wheel hub lock nut 218 - 223 Nm (22.3 - 22.7 kg-m, 161 - 164 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.
When installing the adjusting cap, check that there must be no play.
Never reuse cotter pin, wheel hub lock nut, and bushing.
