torquing the rear wheel axle nut to spec

[albertaduke]

I READ IN THE BOOK 110 N.M BEING THE SETTING FOR THE REAR NUT TO THE SPINDLE ..MY TORQUE WRENCH MEASURING DOESN'T GOES THAT FAR SEEMS SOMETHING IS A BIT OFF HERE IT IS SIMILAR TO 89 FOOT POUND OF TORQUE i DO NOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME i CHANGED THE TIRE BUT THOSE NUMBER ARE RATHER HIGH AM I WRONG OR IS THIS TRUE

81 foot pounds, I think is right.

It’s a big but and takes big torque. This is one Id recommend not doing by feel as you’ll be causing galling on the spacer if overly tight.

I “feel” torqued mine and check with 1oldbull’s torque wrench, I was lucky and had it like 2lbft too loose . Don’t be like me do it right lol.
