Hi,

I attached the torque specifications below for several things you may need. As far as the hub/axle nut, make sure you torque it to spec before placing weight on the wheel. Have a helper hold the brake on so you can do it.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

Thanks. Yes, it's exactly what I needed. But one more question what does 65 + 90° ft lbs on the strut to knuckle mean?

Hi,

First, you are very welcome. I'm glad it helped. As far as the 65 + 90, what that means is you torque the bolt to 65 ft/lbs. Once that is done, you need to turn the nut an additional 90 degrees (basically 1/4 of a turn).

Let me know if that helps.

Take care,

Joe
