Does anyone happen to have the torque spec handy for the 8, 7/16 bolts that hold the axle flange onto the hub on a rear 10.25 axle?
I can't find my manuals anywhere :mad:

That funky routine for the hub bearing ratching nut would be nice as well.

Thanks-------Robert

I actually had mine open beside me.
It has this for the 10.25:

28. Install the hub wrench tool and tighten the nut to 55-65ft/lbs (75-88Nm). Rotate the hub occasionally during nut tightening.
29. Ratchet the nut back 5 teeth. Make sure that you hear 5 clicks! <---( that was actually bold in the book =P )

32. Coat the axle shaft bolt threads with waterproof seal and install them by hand untill they seat. Do not tighten them at this time.

38. Tighten wheel lugs to 140ft/lbs (190Nm)
39. Now tighten the axle shaft bolts to 60-80ft/lbs (81-108Nm)

Hope that was the info you needed.
