Hi Guys,
I think I've been sniffing grease too long. Trying to torque the CV bolts to the stub axle. I have the axle assembly nice and tight in a vise (tried with a towel and without), but I can't keep it from turning before 31lbs is reached. Any tips/tricks from someone thinking more clearly? Thanks |

Just thinking out loud here because I haven't done this myself. Could you not make a jig out of a piece of wood and bolt the hub to the wooden jig, clamp it up in the vice and then just put the stub into the hub and torque. Of course, this assumes that the hub is not yet installed.
I agree with the OP - I would much rather torque these bolts on the bench than in the car. Good luck with it! |
