d60 torque specs

[zilla68]

finishing up my ball joint job and need some quick help.

on the front hub, there is the outer bearing, spacer with notch, nut number 1, a keeper, nut number 2, then the lock out hub.

what do nuts number 1 torque to and number 2 torque to?

Tighten the inner nut to 50 ft-lbs, then back off 90 degrees. Tighten the outer nut to 160-205 ft-lbs. Check the torque required to rotate the hub/rotor. Torque required to rotate the front disc brake hub and rotor is not to exceed 20 INCH-lb. Cheers!

this is what was confusing me,
your paper says 50 and 50 ft lbs where the one I had said what patricks says
50 and 150-200ft lbs which seems like ALOT!

That's weird. All my factory service manuals (each year 94 through 97) specify 160-205 for the outer nut (manual hubs). Cheers!

that nut is awful thin for that kind of torque,
I just tighten it up with my long handle snap on ratchet as IMO the torque doesnt really matter on a jam nut

I know mine was pretty tight but I doubt it was 150-200 ft lbs and it had been serviced at the dealership years ago
