Rear wheel seal

[Exekiel69]

Does anyone have the torque #'s for the 4 pin nut to hold the seal and the torque for the axle bolts??

I remember for other years is like 85 then 110 then back 1/4 turn and 15tq again, now the axle bolts I don't know at all.

Thank You.

ez-
I've read in quite a few manuals 65ft lbs and back off four clicks.
I do that plus spin the tire to give the bearing a moment to "fall into place" or settle. then I check it again. Irregardless, no matter what you torque the pin nut to, as soon as you back it off four clicks or 1/4 turn, the torque becomes irrelevant.
As far as the axle shaft bolts, as tight as I can get them without breaking. This is from years of seeing egged out bolt holes in the axle shaft and smashed threads on the bolts.

Thank You, I was replacing the rws on one side and figured I would do both, now I had to buy napa seals since the ford where order only and I need the truck so against My will I had to pass on the motorcraft and use some napa seals hope they hold half the time the original seals did .

I also have this noise I can hear after I pull the trailer (17-20k pounds combined weight) and some times while pulling I think it comes from the front wheels or one of them. When I did the front bearings I read somewhere to tight the bearing nut hand tight but I thought about it and changed My mind I think this is where this whistle comes from (is not the brakes) so I give the nut a little snug with the breaker bar not much but enough I think. Is there a toque # for this too?

You all are describing something that, either I can't see, or am unfamiliar with.

What kind of rear-end; and, what kind of seal requires a four-pin nut to hold the seal in place??

I thought the seal got driven in from the back, and all the nut did was adjust the bearings.

Please explain, as this is like nothing I have ever dealt with before.

Thanks.

I only replaced the seals, one was bad but I figured I would do both while I was at it. The bearings where fine (200k) so I put them back ($120 a piece).

How much Do You guys tighten the nut on the front wheels (2x4)?


Thank You.

you caught me while I had chiltons open 55-65 while rotating wheel back off 5 "clicks" make sure you hear 5 clicks.
