Hi guys...trying to get a wheel bearing and brake job done on my 74. Is the castle nut holding on the stub axle supposed to be super tight or am I missing something? I've never had one put up this much of a fight but never have done a bearing/cv replacement either.
Thanks! - Jeremy |

QUOTE(1.8914 @ Mar 10 2007, 03:47 PM)  Is the castle nut holding on the rotor supposed to be super tight or am I missing something? I dunno, it's "only" spec'ed to about 250 lb-ft. Plus however much it takes to overcome the rust that holds the nut and stub together. Plus however much it takes to break the cotter pin... (D'OH!) --DD |
