Any one know the torque settings on the rear axial nut, my wrench only goes to 250 Ft Lbs.

460 NM or about 350 ft lbs is install torque BUT they are often MUCH tighter !

I thought it was 332 ft/lbs -- you can either rent the right tool, buy/rent an extender that will allow you to do the job with the wrench you have, or torque it to 250 and bring it to a shop that can put the final twist on it.

3/4" breaker bar and socket - extend to 3feet long with pipe, stand on bathroom scales and pull up until you are 110lbs approx heavier - 110lbs x 3ft = 330 ft lbs

Well is it 350 332 or 330 Maybe I'll get my fat friend over to sit on the wrench sure can"t fit in the car I'll take it to a truck shop just needed the torque settings.

"332 ft/lbs? Only a girlie man could not do that, Hans."
"Ja, Franz, I could do that using only my pointing finger."

It is 322 in the WSM.

Funny -- Tech booklet calls for 460 Nm which works out to 339 ft/lb -- not that 10 ft/lb(3%) either way is going to make much of a difference, but it's interesting to see all the different #'s whenever torque specs are mentioned.

Interesting !

Clearly the number conversions were not all done at the same time -- I believe this one was converted to ft/lb early on a Monday morning or late on a Friday evening. As I said before, 460 Nm works out to 339 ft/lbs. There are other errors(can't recall specific examples offhand) and often they will round down more than I care for -- for example they will state that 11.99 ft/lbs is 11 ft/lbs.

330 or 350 is the same to me. That's less than 10% difference.

The quick conversion from NM to ft lbs is 3/4 or .75 not real accurate but neither are many torque wrenches What you are doing is pressing together the two inner races of the dual angular contact rear wheel bearing and by design there is no compression or preload.

Nice one!

I would rather just stand on a one foot breaker bar...since most bathroom scales do NOT read over 300.

So if I put my fat 220 pound self on the end of a 1.5 foot bar I'll have it torqued properly? Hard to imagine my fat butt standing on the end of a wrench which is locked onto a nut on my 19 year old Porsche without having a bolt wring right off of there! Somebody check my math please!
